The Inta TR28BBV is a 28mm full bore compression ball valve from Intatec's Tradetec range, built for quick, dependable isolation on hot and cold water pipework. Manufactured from solid brass and rated to PN25 (25 bar), it's designed to be fitted anywhere a system needs a reliable shut-off point without restricting flow. The standout feature is the dual red and blue butterfly handle supplied with every valve, letting installers colour-code hot and cold lines from a single product code rather than stocking separate red and blue variants.
Full Bore
Unrestricted flow
Informational: This valve is supplied with both a red and a blue butterfly handle in the box, so one product code covers hot and cold isolation duties — no need to hold separate SKUs for each colour.
Compatibility note: Compression ends only. If a threaded (BSP) connection is needed instead, Intatec's Tradetec lever handle range (TR28LBV) and the wider Inta Tradetec valve series offer alternative end connections and handle styles.
Full Bore Design
The full bore bore profile matches the pipe's internal diameter, minimising pressure loss and keeping flow rates high through the open valve.
Solid Brass Construction
Manufactured from solid brass for long-term durability in domestic and commercial plumbing and heating systems.
Dual Butterfly Handles
Supplied with red and blue butterfly handles for quick quarter-turn operation and clear colour-coded identification of hot and cold lines.
High Pressure Rating
Rated to PN25 (25 bar) maximum operating pressure, suiting a wide range of domestic and commercial water systems.
Wide Temperature Range
Handles inlet temperatures up to 110°C, making it suitable for both hot and cold water duties.
WRAS Approved
WRAS approved, confirming compliance with UK water regulations for use on mains-fed plumbing systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does "full bore" mean on this valve?
A full bore ball valve has an internal bore that matches the pipe's internal diameter when open, so flow isn't restricted through the valve. This keeps pressure loss to a minimum compared with reduced-bore designs.
Do I get both a red and blue handle, or do I need to choose?
Both are included in the box. You can fit either the red or blue butterfly handle depending on whether the valve is isolating a hot or cold line, without needing to order a separate part.
Is this valve suitable for heating systems as well as plumbing?
Yes. With a PN25 pressure rating and a maximum inlet temperature of 110°C, it's suitable for domestic and commercial heating pipework as well as hot and cold water plumbing.
Is the TR28BBV WRAS approved?
Yes, this valve is WRAS approved, confirming it meets UK water regulations for use on systems supplied from the mains.
What if I need a threaded connection instead of compression?
Intatec's wider Tradetec range includes lever handle valves (TR28LBV) and other connection types across 15mm, 22mm and 28mm sizes, so a threaded or lever-operated alternative is available within the same product family.
