Angle Valve

A brass angle valve, also known as a brass angle stop valve or brass angle stopcock, is a type of valve commonly used in plumbing systems to control the flow of water. It is called an "angle valve" because of its distinctive 90-degree angle shape, which allows it to connect to a water supply pipe at one end and a water fixture or appliance at the other end.

Here are the key features and characteristics of a brass angle valve:

1. Material: Brass angle valves are typically made of brass, a durable and corrosion-resistant metal. Brass is commonly used in plumbing applications due to its strength, reliability, and resistance to rust and corrosion.

2. 90-Degree Angle: The valve body is designed in a 90-degree angle configuration, allowing it to be easily installed in tight spaces or close to walls. The inlet side of the valve connects to the water supply pipe, while the outlet side connects to the water fixture or appliance.

3. Handle or Lever: Brass angle valves are equipped with a handle or lever that controls the opening and closing of the valve.
