Frequently asked questions
Does the blue and red version differ in anything other than colour?
No. Types IVAR.6770 (blue handle) and IVAR.6778 (red handle) have the same dimensions, materials and operating parameters; the difference is only in the operating colour.
Can I regulate the flow with this valve?
No, the ball valve is intended only for full opening or closing. Operation in an intermediate position is not permitted by the manufacturer.
What to use to seal the threads during installation?
The manufacturer recommends Teflon tape, string or thread, or sealing pastes and gels. Hemp fibre is not recommended, as it may tear the valve body when over-tightened.
In what position should the valve be left when draining the system for frost protection?
If the system is drained due to the risk of freezing, leave the ball valve slightly open in the 45° position.
