In the UK building services sector, copper pipework remains the gold standard for its antimicrobial properties and longevity. To maintain the integrity of these systems, selecting the right valve material is critical. Mixing incompatible metals can lead to galvanic corrosion, compromising the entire network.
At FIFFCO GLOBAL LTD, we supply a premium range of HVAC Copper and Brass Valves designed specifically for compatibility with copper tube networks. Whether you require Gate Valves for isolation, Globe Valves for regulation, or Check Valves for backflow protection, our inventory ensures complete system harmony. From domestic potable water to commercial LTHW (Low Temperature Hot Water) circuits, our valves deliver leak-free performance and full compliance with British Standards.
Our range is engineered to combat the specific challenges of UK water quality, particularly in hard water areas where dezincification can cause standard brass to become porous.
Copper and Brass valves are the workhorses of the “secondary” and “tertiary” systems in a building—typically found near the point of use.
Avoid the risk of cheap, non-compliant imports. Fiffco guarantees material quality that safeguards your reputation.
Copper and Brass valves are designed for smaller bore pipework (typically 15mm to 54mm) and are chemically compatible with copper tubing. Cast Iron is generally used for larger plant room pipework (65mm+) where weight and cost become significant factors.
The majority of our DZR Brass range holds WRAS Approval, signifying it has passed rigorous testing for water quality and mechanical endurance. Please look for the WRAS logo on the specific product page or filter by “Potable Water Suitable.
For Compression fittings, ensure the copper tube is cut square and deburred. Do not over-tighten the nut; usually, 1-¼ turns past finger-tight is sufficient to compress the olive. For Threaded connections, use a suitable thread sealant or PTFE tape, ensuring you do not block the flow path.
Protect your copper pipework from corrosion and ensure long-term reliability. Choose Fiffco for DZR Brass valves that meet the highest UK standards.
