Product Description
An angle cock, also known as an angle valve or angle stop, is a plumbing fitting with a right-angle bend that controls the flow of water to a specific fixture, such as a sink or toilet. It features an L-shaped design with an inlet and outlet oriented at 90 degrees to each other, allowing for installation in confined spaces. Angle cocks are manually operated by a lever or wheel to shut off or regulate water supply to a single appliance for maintenance or repair without disrupting the water to the entire building. Key Characteristics Right-Angle Design: The most distinctive feature is its L-shaped body, creating a 90-degree angle between the inlet and outlet connections. Manual Control: Operated by a handle or wheel, allowing users to open or close the flow of water. Isolation Valve: It serves as a local shut-off point, isolating the water supply to a particular fixture for maintenance. Common Uses Under sinks: For faucets in kitchens and bathrooms. Toilets: To control the water supply to the flush valve. Geysers: For hot and cold water connections to water heaters.
