Aladdin EasyFit Isolator Valve and Tools Pack - Starter Kit

Product Information

This is the 1/8” BSP model. We provide a 1/8” Micro model that will fit cast Iron ‘School Type’ radiators (made in cast iron or aluminium section). Using your inside stop valve should be easy and you should be able to operate the valve yourself. How to turn your water off using the inside stop valve

Yes. Fitting the Autovent should reduce the need for corrosion inhibitors, but we do recommend their use because corrosion leads to further gas collecting in the radiators. 11) Can leak-stop products be used with the Autovent?b) where a radiator is higher than the water tank, in which case when the pump stops running a vacuum forms (e.g in loft conversions). Yes, this is possible. Some plumbers suggest that on the suction side of the pump micro-gaps in joints could allow air ingress, yet when the pump is off (and the pressure equalises to the c. 1.6 bar of normal operation) the micro-gaps are too small to allow water egress. 10) Can corrosion inhibitors be used with an Autovent? We have two 6mm models. One is called the Micro Barlo which has an extended length thread and a conical tip. The other is the Micro 6mm which has a short 6mm thread. An accredited plumber can use freezing and clamping as a short-term solution. This process creates an ice plug that lasts for around 30 minutes, allowing you to extend or repair pipework without draining the whole system. BSP (British Standard Pipe) plumbing thread allows a ½” tube to pass inside the thread which approximately has a 20.8 mm outside thread on it. The inside is around 18.6 mm and inside that size a ½” 12.7mm pipe will pass.

Unable to freeze flow of water, you can still install EasyFit to pipes with moving water, without the need to turn off the main external / internal service valve. It may take a few turns to turn the water on. It may also take a few minutes for the water to start running from your taps, as it will need to run through the pipes again.

Manuals / Datasheets

The standard radiator tapping size for Panel Radiators and Towel Radiators (80% of market) is the ½” BSP tapping. The HV30 model or OEM model (Original Equipment Manufacturer) is a lower cost ½” BSP version with exactly the same mechanism inside, lasting the same amount of time.

Save time cooling, draining down, refilling and returning to de-aerate – the bigger the system, the bigger the saving A CenterRad Centerbrand radiator has a little well on the end of the roll top radiator facing end out from the radiator. This also uses the Micro Barlo. This valve needs no oring seal but seals on the cone end of the valve stem. The Micro Barlo fits ‘Roll-Top’ radiators. These have a rolled over steel smooth top to the radiator panel. The left and right edges are welded seams. One model has the bleed pin facing to the wall and on a double panel a second bleed pin also faces outwards. We have a Micro 7mm which has a short thread that fits the CenterRad radiator where the tapping is at 45° to the radiator. 2) How do the Autovents work?Once your radiator begins to feel cold at the top, air has begun to build and the Autovent needs to be replaced. Our Autovents have a unique patented design which means at the end of the product life they will seal shut. 5) Don’t all Automatic De-aeration valves leak?
