Lever Ball Valve Black Handle C/W Red & Blue Bands - 15Mm

Lever Ball Valve Black Handle C/W Red & Blue Bands - 15Mm

The 15mm Lever Ball Valve is a high-quality, full-bore isolation valve designed for use in domestic and commercial plumbing and heating systems. This specific model features a sleek Black Handle and includes interchangeable Red and Blue plastic bands (indices). These bands allow the installer to color-code the valve on-site to clearly identify whether it is serving a Hot (Red) or Cold (Blue) water line.

The lever-operated quarter-turn mechanism provides an immediate, positive shut-off, making it far more reliable and easier to operate than traditional gate valves.
