Plug valve PP 1/2" male thread 4bar black - 7038124

Plug valve PP 1/2″ male thread 4bar black

Rated to 4 bar and fitted with a ½” male BSP thread, this compact polypropylene plug valve delivers a reliable quarter-turn shut-off for dripline irrigation runs, pool ancillary pipework, and low-pressure water distribution systems. The all-PP construction — including housing — resists chemical attack and corrosion, making it equally at home in outdoor garden environments and pool plant rooms. Its lever operation means flow can be opened or closed in a single motion without tools.

Material & pressure rating

Moulded entirely from polypropylene, the valve body and housing offer good resistance to chlorinated water, fertiliser solutions, and UV exposure typically encountered in irrigation and pool surrounds. The 4 bar working pressure suits standard domestic and light-commercial dripline networks as well as pool return and dosing lines operating at modest pressures.

Quarter-turn lever operation

The lever handle provides instant visual indication of whether the valve is open or closed — lever in line with the pipe means open, lever across the pipe means closed. This makes routine inspection and seasonal shut-off straightforward for both installers and end users. No special tools are required for operation or basic installation onto a ½” male-threaded fitting or manifold port.

Connection & installation

The ½” male BSP thread screws directly into a standard female-threaded socket, manifold, or dripline header, keeping the installation neat and compact. PTFE thread-seal tape is recommended at assembly to ensure a leak-free joint at the rated 4 bar pressure. The black finish blends discreetly into most outdoor pipework layouts.
