Keshia Seah –
The Problue IM-17-1 is a great valve, but I’ve noticed that the threads can be a bit finicky at times. Other than that, it’s been a reliable and efficient addition to my equipment.

I’ve been using the tank valve from Problue for a few months now, and I have to say it’s been a game-changer. The 300 bar Din valve is incredibly reliable and the 3/4 – 14 NPSM / 25mm X 2 threads make it easy to install and connect to my other equipment. One thing I would suggest to the manufacturer is to include a user manual in the packaging, it took me a while to figure out how to properly use it.

Junhao Lo –
Thank you for reaching out about the maintenance of your Problue IM-17-1 Tank Valve. Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure the valve continues working properly. We recommend the following checks: inspect the valve for signs of wear or damage, clean the threads and valve stem, and apply a thin layer of lubricant to the valve stem. Additionally, it’s essential to check the valve’s pressure rating and follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for proper use. We also suggest checking the valve’s alignment and making sure it’s properly secured. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

How long will this valve last under heavy usage?
Imran Hanafiah –
We appreciate your interest in the Problue IM-17-1 Tank Valve and your question about its lifespan under heavy usage. While we don’t have a definitive answer, we can provide some general guidance. Our valve is designed to withstand pressures of up to 300 bar, and the materials used are corrosion-resistant and durable. However, maintenance and proper usage are key to extending the life of your valve. We recommend regular cleaning, inspection, and tightening of the threads to prevent issues. If you have any further questions or would like more information, please let us know.

Is it compatible with a 1 1/2′ male pipe fitting?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for reaching out to us, Natalie Foo. I’ve checked the product information and I see that our Problue IM-17-1 Tank Valve comes with two different thread types. Unfortunately, it seems that the 1 1/2′ male pipe fitting you have may not match the available threads of 3/4 _ – 14 NPSM / 25mm X 2. However, I’d recommend checking the compatibility details with our product team or a professional plumber to get the most accurate advice. Please let us know if there’s anything else we can assist you with.

I recently used the IM-17-1 Tank Valve for a plumbing project in my house and I must say it exceeded my expectations. The 300-bar Din valve is super durable and the threads fit perfectly. I liked the flexibility of having two different thread types, it makes it easy to install in different environments.

I was skeptical at first but the IM-17-1 Tank Valve really delivered. The material feels premium and the threading system is efficient. It’s also quite affordable for its quality.
Brenda Teo –
Can someone tell me if the Din valve is suitable for offshore use?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for choosing the Problue IM-17-1 Tank Valve, Brenda Teo. To answer your question, the DIN valve on our product is built to withstand extreme conditions, including corrosion and high pressures, making it suitable for offshore use. The valve’s 300 bar rating also ensures reliable performance in challenging environments. Please note, however, that any installation in an offshore setting should be done in accordance with local and international regulations.
