This is the 1/8” BSP model. We provide a 1/8” Micro model that will fit cast Iron ‘School Type’ radiators (made in cast iron or aluminium section). BSP is approximately 14.5mm. If you use the ¼” BSP thread for your radiator, then it will need PTFE tape fitted on the outside of the bush. A CenterRad Centerbrand radiator has a little well on the end of the roll top radiator facing end out from the radiator. This also uses the Micro Barlo. This valve needs no oring seal but seals on the cone end of the valve stem. Your property will likely have several stop valves inside your home. You will likely be able to turn off your water for the room or area of your property where you have a leak, or you’re doing some plumbing. This means you can continue to use your water in the remaining rooms of your property. Also can be used when you need to isolate a mains water feed to a multi-occupancy building or to maintain a component in a heating system. Save Time and Inconvenience

The EasyFit Isolator saves time cooling, draining down, refilling and returning to de-aerate. The bigger the system, the bigger the saving. No more freezing kits and the risk that an ice plug will fail.

Yes, this is possible. Some plumbers suggest that on the suction side of the pump micro-gaps in joints could allow air ingress, yet when the pump is off (and the pressure equalises to the c. 1.6 bar of normal operation) the micro-gaps are too small to allow water egress. 10) Can corrosion inhibitors be used with an Autovent? The first time radiators fitted with Hygroseal™ Autovents are filled, the air hisses out until water hits the hygroscopic washers and then they seal (you will often see a small “bubble” of water after the first fill). If more air/gas builds up in the radiator, it will not escape until the hygroscopic washers have dried a little and have shrunk enough for gas/air to escape. The time it takes for the washers to dry and shrink varies according to system pressure, temperature and humidity.

It may take a few turns to turn the water on. It may also take a few minutes for the water to start running from your taps, as it will need to run through the pipes again.

How to find your inside stop valve

Unable to freeze flow of water, you can still install EasyFit to pipes with moving water, without the need to turn off the main external / internal service valve.
