Hi all,
I am installing all the pipes for a new CH system, the lowest point is 1.5m under the floorboards which I have access to. For convenience I would like to use a 22mm lever ball valve as my draining valve (I am planning to purchase a full bore one) which I will connect to a 40mm waste through a reducer.
Considering that the valve will be in closed position at all time except when I drain the system, are lever ball valves suitable for such use? I am concerned that the valve might not be designed to be constantly shut and could eventually let some water through.
Thanks!
