The integrated stop valve sits directly in the supply line, so if a tap develops a leak or needs replacing, you can isolate the water locally without having to turn off the mains. The brushed copper finish complements warm, industrial, or vintage bathroom styles and pairs well with brass and gold, as well as darker fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIf your water supply is a size other than 1\/2 inch, or your cloakroom tap has a 1\/2 inch tap connection, this kit is not suitable. Please check your tap specifications before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eInstallation and use\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eA common mistake when fitting a stop valve connection kit is over-tightening the fittings. Hand-tighten the connections first, then turn no more than half a turn with a spanner. Always use PTFE tape or the supplied seals on threaded connections. After commissioning, check all connections for leaks before fitting the waste outlet and finishing the room.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between a connection kit with and without a stop valve?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eA connection kit without a stop valve simply connects the supply pipe to the tap, but gives you no way to isolate the water supply locally. With a stop valve, you can shut off the supply to the cloakroom tap without affecting the rest of the installation. This is particularly useful during maintenance or when replacing the tap.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWill this kit fit my existing water supply?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe kit has a 1\/2 inch connection on the supply side, which is the standard size in most residential properties. On the tap side, the connection is 3\/8 inch. If you are unsure about the sizes in your installation, measure the outside diameter of the existing pipe or the connection nut on your current tap.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eIs brushed copper harder to maintain than chrome?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eBrushed copper requires slightly different care compared to chrome. Avoid abrasive products or harsh cleaning agents. A damp cloth is sufficient for everyday cleaning. The matt texture conceals water droplets and light fingerprints better than a polished finish.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBrowse the full range of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.schwertzco.com\/collections\/fonteinkranen\"\u003ecloakroom taps\u003c\/a\u003e or explore all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.schwertzco.com\/collections\/kranen\"\u003etaps\u003c\/a\u003e for your bathroom or cloakroom.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DutchLine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53829782667591,"sku":"HF815-BRG","price":23.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/6281\/7607\/files\/dutchline-luxe-fonteinkraan-aansluitset-stopkraan-1238-geborsteld-koper_0ef14712-2b26-4ce2-9ba1-a13390079855.webp?v=1777373067","url":"https:\/\/www.schwertzco.com\/en\/products\/cloakroom-tap-connection-kit-stop-valve-1238-brushed-copper-dutchline","provider":"Schwertz \u0026 Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
