Tubico 1/2" Stopcock - Copper PVD - T100148C

1/2 Inch Copper PVD Stopcock

The Tubico stopcock, model T100148C, offers a reliable solution for controlling water flow in domestic and commercial systems. Made of copper with a PVD finish, this component guarantees durability and resistance over time, maintaining a well-kept aesthetic even in humid environments subject to wear.

Technical Characteristics

This stopcock is designed with a 1/2 inch connection, standard for most residential plumbing systems. Copper construction ensures good thermal conductivity and natural corrosion resistance. The PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) finish creates a protective layer that preserves the material's color and surface quality over time.

Practical Applications

The stopcock is used in various situations within a plumbing system. It is commonly installed under kitchen and bathroom sinks to allow for rapid water isolation during maintenance or repair operations. It is also an essential element in heating systems, where it allows for the regulation of hot water flow to radiators or distribution systems.

Advantages of Use

• Precise control of water flow with a reliable shut-off mechanism
• Copper material resistant to corrosion and chemicals present in water
• PVD finish maintains aesthetic appearance over time without dulling
• Simple installation thanks to the standardized 1/2 inch connection
• Compatibility with most residential and commercial plumbing systems
• Reduced intervention times during maintenance operations

Installation and Maintenance

Installing the stopcock requires basic plumbing skills. The component must be positioned in an easily accessible part of the system, preferably before the point of water usage to be controlled. The use of sealing tape or specific sealant for plumbing threads ensures a watertight and durable joint.

Routine maintenance consists of periodic checks to verify the absence of leaks and the correct functioning of the shut-off mechanism. In case of wear or malfunction, the component can be replaced without the need for complex interventions on the entire system.

Compatibility Specifications

Model T100148C is designed to operate with standard domestic water pressures, generally between 1 and 10 bar. The 1/2 inch connection fits copper, plastic, or steel pipes commonly used in modern installations. The PVD finish ensures compatibility with various environments, both indoors and outdoors, provided they are protected from prolonged direct exposure to intense UV rays.
