Innovative design

The garden valve is designed with an integrated vacuum valve and features a self-draining function that automatically drains the water when the valve is turned off, providing effective protection against freezing damage.

Type-approved according to the new EN 17821 standard

FM Mattsson’s new garden valve meets the new type-approval requirements based on EN 17821, a standard that defines what frost-resistant outdoor fittings must comply with.

• Frost resistance – automatic draining.

• Durability – corrosion resistance, fatigue-resistant opening function, and resistance to bending, twisting, and high pressure.

• Material requirements – no materials that may affect the taste, odor, or quality of drinking water.

• Backflow prevention

• Flow capacity

• Acoustics

• Dimensions and design

Enhanced material requirements with regard to upcoming drinking water directives

We have already designed the garden valve with the EU’s new drinking water directives in mind, ensuring that all metallic materials in contact with water are included on the new positive list. This makes the garden valve a safe, sustainable, and future-proof choice.
