WHICH WAY TO TURN RED LEVER ON FULL BORE ISOLATION VALVE (LEVER TYPE)

[dimmy]

Hi
I know this is a simple question but is it a quarter turn clockwise to turn this off?. I know the screw type ball valves under the sink turn to OFF with either a quarter turn left or right...BUT is it the same principle for the full bore lever type...OR is it ONLY a quarter turn clockwise? Maybe it wouldn`t turn the other way anyway?. The lever is pointing directly down in line with the pipe (ON) at present...and I can`t get to it at the moment as I have to move some stuff but i just want to make sure...A quarter turn to the left (CLOCKWISE) to shut off and the reverse to turn back ON?. Does it come to a full stop or just keep turning round and round???..many thanks!

It depends which way round it is as you're looking at it.

Normally 1/4 turn clockwise, it won't turn round and round unless the stop on the body is missing

lever horizontal to pipe.

It depends on which way round the valve has been fitted but you are correct it is quater of a turn on and off there is a stop the body of the valve this will help you find out which way it turns. Cheers kop
