302213 COMPRESSION GATE VALVE 22mm

Easily manage and isolate larger pipework with the 22mm Compression Gate Valve (302213). Designed for main water lines, high-flow bath supplies, and central heating circuits, this trade-quality valve features a traditional wheel handle and an internal drop-gate mechanism. This allows for smooth, gradual control of water flow, effectively preventing the jarring "water hammer" effect in your pipes. It is equipped with standard 22mm compression fittings on both ends, ensuring a highly secure, watertight connection to your copper or plastic pipework without the need for heat, soldering, or specialized tools. Manufactured from heavy-duty solid brass, this durable gate valve offers a full-bore flow to maintain maximum system pressure, making it a reliable essential for any professional plumber or everyday DIYer.

Feature & Benefit Overview

• Smooth Wheel Operation: The traditional rotating wheel handle slowly lowers the internal gate, providing gradual shut-off to prevent the "water hammer" effect in larger pipes.

• Full Bore Flow: The gate mechanism lifts completely out of the way when fully open, ensuring maximum water pressure and unrestricted flow for your 22mm system.

• Heat-Free Installation: Creates a highly secure, watertight seal using just an adjustable spanner, completely eliminating the need for blowtorches, solder, or flux.

• Standard 22mm Fit: Engineered with two equal ends to perfectly connect standard 22mm UK pipework, commonly used for central heating and main water feeds.

• Multi-Pipe Compatibility: Works seamlessly with standard copper piping, as well as plastic/PEX tubing (pipe inserts required for plastic).

• Trade-Quality Brass: Manufactured from solid, corrosion-resistant brass to ensure long-lasting durability, even in demanding hot water and central heating environments.
