The Compression T-Bar Handle Butterfly Valve is a practical and reliable solution for controlling the flow of fluids in plumbing systems. Designed for ease of use and long-lasting performance, this valve is commonly found in both larger residential and commercial installations, where managing water flow efficiently is essential.
This valve features robust compression fittings, which means it can be connected directly to copper pipework without the need for soldering, welding, or adhesives. It’s a straightforward, mess-free installation—just tighten the compression nuts using basic tools, and the job is done. This makes it a popular choice among professional plumbers and confident DIYers alike.
At the heart of the valve is a butterfly mechanism—an internal disc that rotates on a central axis to either restrict or allow flow through the pipe. The external red T-bar handle gives you full manual control, offering clear, visual feedback on whether the valve is open, closed, or partially open for fine flow adjustment.
The T-bar handle design ensures a comfortable grip and smooth operation, even in tight or awkward spaces. It’s ideal for isolating parts of a system, managing water supply to specific appliances, or shutting off zones during maintenance work.
Available sizes:
15mm
22mm
28mm
These size options make the valve suitable for a variety of applications, from standard domestic pipework to higher-capacity commercial systems.
