These valves can shut off individually and independent domestic hot water
water supply to equipment or components connected to
each of its two outputs, such as sinks, toilets, cisterns...

A-80 TWIN models offer 2 independent outlets from a

single inlet from the drinking water network, providing the
installation with following advantages:

Reduction of over 80% of installation time

Reducing the number of accessories
Reduced installation space
Improved reliability by reducing the number of connections.

These benefits apply both to existing installations, which

run on a reform, as in the new facility.

MAIN CONSTRUCTIVE FEATURES

VITAQ SYSTEM

Stem and ball are manufactured in one piece made of

special anti-lime polymer, which increases its resistance,
allows a softer operation of the valve and avoids the lime
adhesion on it.

In those installations where water hardness and

temperature make easier the lime deposition, as well as
a low maneuver frequency; leads to the valve’s hard operation
after long periods of time.

VITAQ SYSTEM is the solution to avoid a hard operation and

keep a constant flow rate and avoid the loss of flow caused
by the lime adhered.

HANDLE

The handle has 4 marked positions and it has a positioning

system that ensures the correct operation.

Supporting
LEAK TIGHTNESS clip

Internal

The supporting clip made of POM is placed in the valve to

push the NBR seat against the stem-ball.

This system cannot be dismantled, avoiding improper

manipulations.

External

A double NBR seal placed on the stem assure external leak

tightness. This double joint system guarantees safety

INSTALATION AND ASSEMBLY

The installation of valves must be done with the right tool.

The tool should be adjusted to the flat sides of the body of

the valve, avoiding the deformation of the zone by high
pressure of the tool.

Components of the valve must not be altered.

The substitution or dismantling of the handle can cause
external leaks.

All quarter turn handle valves should work totally open.
