Common specifications

Key specifications

Face-to-face lengths and pipe outside diameters are from Dixon's catalogue and data sheet size table. The data sheet also has a separate valve dimension table that gives slightly different lengths for the 2-1/2 in and 6 in sizes (181 mm and 270 mm).

Selecting the right option

Pick the size by the pipe outside diameter in the table, and check that your grooved couplings suit that pipe size. Dixon's data sheet describes the valve for one-way water pipelines up to 80 degrees C; ask us before using it on other media. Check the approval you need against the markings on the valve, as Dixon states the approvals (manufacturer-stated).
