PPR GATE VALVE 32MM AQUATHERM

Core specs typically include: size 32 mm, material PPR (Aquatherm), end connection with socket fusion, manual operation via a handwheel or lever, temperature rating up to about 95°C, and a pressure rating around PN16. Exact figures can vary by batch, so confirm with the product data when selecting.

A gate valve like this provides tight shut-off with minimal flow resistance when fully open, but requires more turning to operate. A ball valve offers quicker operation with a 90-degree turn and is often used for rapid on/off control. Both are suitable for PPR piping, but gate valves excel where a durable, long-seal shut-off is important.

It's suitable for domestic hot and cold water supply, radiant heating circuits, and other PPR piping networks where a reliable on/off control is needed.

Since the ends are socket fusion, you fuse the 32 mm pipe ends to the valve using a compatible Aquatherm fusion machine. Ensure pipes are cut square, clean, and dry, then fuse the ends, align the valve correctly in the flow direction, and perform a pressure test after cooling.

Turn the handle smoothly through the full 90-degree range to avoid stressing the stem. Close the valve fully when performing maintenance or depressurizing a section, and avoid forcing the handle if the system is under high pressure.

Yes. PPR Aquatherm fittings are designed for potable water applications. They’re commonly manufactured to meet standards applicable to PPR piping systems (such as ISO/DIN EN 15874 family). Always verify certification details on the exact product batch you’re purchasing.

It allows you to isolate a section of the circuit without draining the entire system, making repairs or replacements easier and faster while keeping the rest of the network pressurized.

Yes. If servicing is required, depressurize the local section, remove the fusion, and install a new valve using the same socket-fusion method to ensure a secure, airtight connection.

Each offers different shut-off mechanisms while matching 32 mm Aquatherm piping.

This valve is designed for Aquatherm PPR systems with socket-fusion ends. While some PPR piping concepts are dimensionally similar across brands, socket fusion connections and material tolerances are brand-specific. If you’re cross-branding, verify compatibility with the pipe and fusion equipment for that brand before installation.
