The Gunmetal Swivel Ferrule Valve with Pushfit End NR-F005, from Raising Valve, is a durable and user-friendly fluid control solution engineered for water-based applications. Made from high-quality gunmetal (bronze alloys like C83600, C84400, and lead-free C89833/C87850), this valve balances strength with corrosion resistance, making it ideal for long-term use in water treatment, irrigation, and plumbing systems. It operates at 16 bar working pressure and -20℃ to 120℃, ensuring compatibility with both cold and hot water. The standout swivel ferrule design allows easy rotation during installation, while the pushfit end eliminates the need for threading or special tools—cutting setup time significantly. Available in sizes 1/2"x20mm, 3/4"x25mm, and 1"x32mm with BSP/NPT threads, it complies with BS1400 LG2 standards, guaranteeing reliability for commercial and industrial use.
Gunmetal, a copper-tin-zinc alloy, offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard metals—critical for water systems where rust or degradation can cause leaks. It also withstands moderate pressure and temperature fluctuations, ensuring the valve performs consistently in outdoor (e.g., irrigation) or indoor (e.g., water treatment) environments. Lead-free variants meet safety standards for potable water, expanding its use to residential plumbing.
The swivel ferrule allows 360-degree rotation during installation, making it easy to align the valve with existing HDPE/PVC pipes (via saddle straps) or new piping. This flexibility reduces stress on pipe connections, minimizing the risk of leaks caused by misalignment. It also simplifies adjustments if the piping layout needs modification later.
The pushfit connection is a key differentiator: users simply insert the pipe into the valve end—no threading, soldering, or specialized tools required. This cuts installation time by up to 50% compared to traditional threaded valves, making it ideal for projects with tight deadlines (e.g., agricultural irrigation setup or commercial building retrofits). The pushfit design also ensures a tight, leak-proof seal once installed.
The valve’s ferrule can connect to HDPE/PVC pipes using saddle straps, eliminating the need for custom adapters. This versatility makes it a go-to choice for irrigation systems (where HDPE pipes are common) and water treatment plants (using PVC for chemical-resistant lines).
Farmers and landscapers use the NR-F005 to control water flow to irrigation lines. The pushfit end speeds up installation across large fields, while the gunmetal construction resists corrosion from outdoor elements (e.g., rain, soil moisture). The swivel ferrule simplifies alignment with above-ground or underground HDPE pipes.
In treatment facilities, the valve regulates water flow through filtration or disinfection stages. Its corrosion-resistant gunmetal body withstands exposure to mild treatment chemicals, and the pushfit design allows quick replacement during maintenance—reducing downtime.
Restaurants, hotels, and office buildings use the NR-F005 in their plumbing networks (e.g., connecting to water heaters or restroom lines). The tool-free installation is ideal for retrofits, where disrupting daily operations must be minimized.
Municipalities use the valve in small-scale water distribution lines (e.g., for parks or community centers). Its compatibility with HDPE/PVC pipes and BS1400 LG2 compliance ensures it integrates seamlessly with existing municipal systems.
While it is optimized for HDPE/PVC via saddle straps, it can also connect to copper pipes using compatible pushfit adapters (sold separately). Contact Raising for adapter recommendations based on your pipe material.
Ensure the pipe is cut straight and free of burrs. Insert the pipe fully into the pushfit end until you hear a “click”—this indicates a secure seal. Test with low pressure first, then gradually increase to 16 bar.
No, gunmetal is not recommended for saltwater (e.g., marine use) as salt can accelerate corrosion. For saltwater, choose Raising’s brass valves with DZR coating.
It operates safely up to 120℃, making it suitable for hot water systems (e.g., commercial dishwashers or residential water heaters).
Yes, Raising offers a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Warranty coverage requires professional installation (for commercial/industrial use) or adherence to DIY installation guidelines (for residential use).
