Aladdin EasyFit Isolator Valve and Tools Pack - Starter Kit

Product Information

If isolating a mains water feed in a multi-occupancy building, save time notifying and inconveniencing neighbours

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.

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. You have several options if you cannot find your inside stop valve or if it's faulty and needs to be repaired. The EasyFit Isolator is a full-flow valve which reduces flow by just 2% (@ 5 bar 30 lit/min) so flow will be 98% of the flowrate prior to fitting the valve. 4. Is the EasyFit Isolator guaranteed?

We have a Micro 7mm which has a short thread that fits the CenterRad radiator where the tapping is at 45° to the radiator. 2) How do the Autovents work? 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? It provides an effective and robust product for all plumbers, maintenance engineers, water companies, housing associations and the DIY market. On a Closed, pressurised system: After the air absorbed in the water has separated, the best early indicator of a leak is a drop in pressure of the system. An Autovent should, if anything, lead to a faster drop in pressure so an even earlier indication of a leak.

It may also take a few minutes for the water to stop running from your taps, as there will be some water left in the pipes from before you turned the water off. 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. Provides an effective and robust product for all plumbers, maintenance engineers, water companies, housing associations and the DIY market. We have two 6mm models. One is called the Micro Barlo which has an extended length thread and a conical tip. The other is the Micro 6mm which has a short 6mm thread. Install a permanent isolation valve called an Aladdin valve. This can be installed on hot water or cold water pipes in around 5 minutes and can be done without turning off your water.

Yes, provided the temperature of the piping allows the valve to operate at 35°C for the Hygroseal™ Autovents. 14) Can the valves work on negative pressure systems? b) where a radiator is higher than the water tank, in which case when the pump stops running a vacuum forms (e.g in loft conversions). 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).The diagram below shows the typical pipework for most homes and who is responsible for maintaining it. 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

Even when you can’t freeze you can still EasyFit to pipes with moving water, without the need to turn off the main external / internal service valve. An accredited plumber can use freezing and clamping as a short-term solution. This process creates an ice plug that lasts for around 30 minutes, allowing you to extend or repair pipework without draining the whole system.

Having problems?

BSP (British Standard Pipe) plumbing thread allows a ½” tube to pass inside the thread which approximately has a 20.8 mm outside thread on it. The inside is around 18.6 mm and inside that size a ½” 12.7mm pipe will pass. The HV30 model or OEM model (Original Equipment Manufacturer) is a lower cost ½” BSP version with exactly the same mechanism inside, lasting the same amount of time. Your inside stop valve is inside your house and is normally located just after the water pipe enters the house. This is often under the kitchen sink, but can also be: This guide should answer most questions asked regarding the Aladdin Autovents. 1) How do I find the correct sized Aladdin Autovent valve for my radiator?
