Product Description
A brass angle cock (or valve) is a plumbing fixture with an inlet and an outlet port at a 90-degree angle, allowing water flow to be controlled and directed to specific fixtures like sinks or toilets. Made from brass for durability and corrosion resistance, it features a valve that, when turned, opens or closes the flow. These are often chrome-plated for a polished look and typically connect to a 1/2-inch pipe, providing a local water shut-off for repairs without affecting the main supply. Key Features & Function 90-Degree Angle: The design's perpendicular inlet and outlet ports allow for compact installation and efficient connection to wall pipes and water fixtures. Water Flow Control: It acts as a manual stop valve, enabling users to shut off water supply to a single fixture, such as a wash basin or toilet, without turning off the entire house's water supply. Material: Constructed from brass, it offers excellent durability, longevity, and resistance to rust and corrosion. Finish: Often finished with a chrome plating (CP), providing a shiny, modern aesthetic and additional corrosion protection. Connection: Typically connects to a 1/2-inch (15mm) threaded pipe, which is a common size in plumbing. Installation: It can be easily installed on a wall and often comes with a wall flange to cover the hole in the wall. Common Uses Bathrooms: For toilets, jet sprays, bidets, and bathroom taps or mixers. Kitchens: To control water flow to sinks or dishwashers. Other Applications: Anywhere water flow needs to be regulated, such as for geysers (water heaters), bathtubs, or other appliances.
