CR Brass Gate Valve - Compression Ends BS5154

The CR Brass Gate Valve Compression Ends BS5154 gives you a corrosion-resistant shut-off valve for potable water systems and aggressive water conditions. Sizes 15mm to 28mm use CR-Brass (CW602N alloy) body material, while 35mm to 54mm use gunmetal.

Consequently, both size ranges resist dezincification where standard brass would break down over time. Furthermore, compression ends give a fast, secure connection to standard copper pipe. For the full range, see our Gate Valves collection.

Key Features of This CR Brass Gate Valve BS5154

• Standard: BS5154 — consequently suitable for potable water systems
• Body material (15–28mm): CR-Brass CW602N alloy for dezincification resistance
• Body material (35–54mm): Gunmetal — also gives dezincification resistance in larger sizes
• Ends: Compression type for straightforward connection to copper pipe
• Sizes available: 15mm, 22mm, 28mm, 35mm, 42mm, 54mm
• SKUs: V245715 (15mm), V245722 (22mm), V245728 (28mm), V245735 (35mm), V245742 (42mm), V245754 (54mm)

Applications for a CR Brass Gate Valve Compression Ends BS5154

This CR Brass Gate Valve BS5154 suits potable water supply lines, service entry points, and pipework in areas where the water chemistry is aggressive or where dezincification is a known risk. In addition, it works well in older systems where standard brass fittings have failed. Moreover, BS5154 compliance means it meets the specification for use on mains cold water supply in the UK.

Why Choose CR-Brass or Gunmetal?

Standard brass can lose zinc over time in certain water conditions — a process called dezincification. CR-Brass (CW602N) resists this process in 15mm to 28mm sizes. However, for 35mm to 54mm, gunmetal gives the same resistance in a larger body format. Therefore, always select the right material for your water conditions and check local guidance before specifying.

Selection Advice

Match the valve size to your pipe outside diameter so the compression ends seal correctly. As a result, you avoid the need for adaptors or reducers. If you need a CR brass gate valve in a different size or end type, see the full Gate Valves range for alternatives.
