Question 1

What is the 75mm PPR Gate Valve and what does it do?

Accepted Answer

The 75mm PPR Gate Valve is a plastic gate valve made from polypropylene random copolymer (PPR) designed to start or stop fluid flow in piping systems. The 75mm refers to the bore size, and the valve provides a reliable shut-off with a compact, lightweight design that is easy to install in space-constrained installations.

Question 2

What are the key specifications of this valve?

Accepted Answer

Key specs include a 75mm size, PPR material, corrosion resistance, a compact and ergonomic handle for easy operation, a self-searching bonnet and adjustable packing for a tight seal, an expanded operating temperature range from -20°C to +80°C, and suitability for use in various fluid systems.

Question 3

How do the self-searching bonnet and adjustable packing improve performance?

Accepted Answer

The self-searching bonnet automatically adjusts to maintain a tight seal, reducing leaks, while the adjustable packing allows you to restore or maintain a proper seal over time without full bonnet replacement, contributing to reliable long-term performance.

Question 4

What are typical use cases for this valve?

Accepted Answer

It's suitable for PPR piping in potable water, irrigation, and general fluid handling in industrial settings. Its compact size and corrosion resistance also make it useful in tight spaces where larger valves wouldn't fit.

Question 5

How do I install a 75mm PPR Gate Valve?

Accepted Answer

Install using standard PPR joining methods such as socket fusion or appropriate PPR joining technique. Ensure the piping ends are clean and properly prepared, align the valve correctly with the flow direction, join with the appropriate method, and allow joints to set as required before testing for leaks.

Question 6

What maintenance steps should I follow for this valve?

Accepted Answer

Periodically inspect the packing and bonnet area for leaks, ensure the handle moves smoothly, and re-tighten the packing if needed. If leaks persist, consider servicing the bonnet or replacing packing to restore a tight seal.

Question 7

Is this valve suitable for potable water and other fluids?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the valve is designed for use with PPR piping and is suitable for potable water and other compatible fluids in PPR systems. Always verify compatibility with your specific fluid, and adhere to local codes and regulations.

Question 8

How does this valve compare to a 75mm PVC gate valve available on Fepy?

Accepted Answer

Compared to a 75mm PVC gate valve, the 75mm PPR gate valve generally offers better chemical resistance to certain fluids and typically a lighter weight. For a direct comparison, you can view the PVC option here: https://fepy.com/product/75mm-pvc-gate-valve

Question 9

How does this valve compare to a 63mm PPR gate valve on Fepy?

Accepted Answer

A 63mm PPR gate valve is smaller and suited for lower flow scenarios or tighter spaces, while the 75mm version provides a larger flow capacity. See a 63mm option here: https://fepy.com/product/63mm-ppr-gate-valve

Question 10

How does this valve compare to a 110mm PPR gate valve on Fepy?

Accepted Answer

A 110mm PPR gate valve offers a significantly larger bore for higher flow applications, whereas the 75mm version balances flow with space and installability. Compare with a 110mm option here: https://fepy.com/product/110mm-ppr-gate-valve

Question 11

What should I consider when choosing this valve for my project?

Accepted Answer

Consider the required flow rate, the operating temperature range, the pipe size (75mm), the joining method supported by your system (socket fusion or other PPR methods), space constraints, and the fluids you’ll be handling to ensure material compatibility and optimal performance.

Question 12

What are common installation or operation mistakes to avoid?

Accepted Answer

Avoid mismatching end connections, over-tightening joints, misalignment of the valve with the piping, and using incompatible joining methods. Ensure the valve orientation matches the system’s flow direction and allow any joints to cure or set properly before pressurizing.
