Installation and operation
The valve is supplied in the open position. When tightening, hold it on the hexagon (31 mm spanner) against the direction of pipe rotation.

Frequently asked questions
Do the blue and red versions differ in anything other than colour?
No. Types IVAR.6772 (blue handle) and IVAR.6780 (red handle) have identical dimensions, materials and operating data; only the handle colour differs.
Can I use this valve to regulate the flow?
No, the ball valve is intended only for fully opening or closing. The manufacturer does not permit operation in an intermediate position.
What should I use to seal the threads during installation?
The manufacturer recommends PTFE tape, cord or thread, or sealing pastes and gels. Hemp is not recommended, as too much of it can crack the valve body.
In which position should the valve be left when the system is drained because of frost?
If the system is drained due to the risk of freezing, the ball valve must be left half open at 45°.
