The Inta Full Bore Ball Valve 15 mm with Red Butterfly Handle is a high-flow isolation valve used in plumbing and heating systems to quickly and reliably shut off water flow. Its full-bore design ensures minimal resistance when open, and the red butterfly handle allows fast manual operation.

Function & Purpose

This ball valve provides a simple way to turn water on or off in a 15 mm pipe run. Inside the valve, a ball with a hole through its centre rotates to either allow full flow (when aligned with the pipe) or block flow (when turned perpendicular). The full bore design means the internal opening is the same size as the pipe diameter, reducing pressure drop and allowing unobstructed water flow when open. The red butterfly handle makes it easy to operate by hand and gives a clear visual indication of the valve position.

Compatibility

The valve is designed for 15 mm pipework, which is a standard size in many domestic and light commercial applications, including central heating, hot and cold water supply, and appliance feeds. It works with copper, plastic, or other compatible pipe materials using the appropriate joining method (such as compression, press-fit, or threaded connections depending on model).

Design & Build Quality

The Inta ball valve features a robust body and a durable internal ball mechanism that provides long-lasting, leak-resistant performance. The red butterfly handle allows easy grip and quick turn operation, making it suitable for use in tight spaces or where frequent access may be needed. The full-bore construction also makes it a good choice where high flow rates are desired with minimal restriction.

Ideal Applications

This valve is ideal for:

Manual isolation of water supply lines in plumbing and heating systems
Shutting off feeds to radiators, appliances, or specific circuits during servicing
Quick access isolation points in domestic hot and cold water systems
Any application where full flow with minimal resistance is preferred

The combination of full-bore performance and a user-friendly red butterfly handle makes the Inta 15 mm ball valve a practical, reliable choice for installers and maintenance work in both residential and light commercial systems.
