Product Description
An angle cock, also known as an angle valve or stop valve, is a right-angle plumbing fitting that controls the flow of water. It features an inlet and an outlet that are perpendicular to each other, allowing it to change the direction of the water supply. Angle cocks are commonly installed in bathrooms and kitchens to connect to fixtures like health faucets, hand showers, and toilets, providing a space-saving and aesthetic solution for water control. Key Features and Function: Right-Angle Design: The defining characteristic is its 90-degree bend, which is ideal for tight spaces and discreet installation. Flow Control: It functions as a manual valve to start, stop, or regulate water flow to specific fixtures. Versatile Application: Primarily used in bathrooms and kitchens to connect water supply lines to accessories such as flush valves, health faucets, and under-sink connections for water heaters or other appliances. Space-Saving: The angular design allows for a neater and more compact installation compared to straight valves in confined areas. Materials and Durability: Angle cocks are typically made from durable materials like brass or stainless steel to ensure corrosion resistance and longevity. They often feature a chrome-plated finish for a sophisticated, modern look and added protection against the elements. Advantages: Precise Flow Management: Provides accurate control over water flow, helping to conserve water and optimize the function of the connected fixture. Reduced Leak Potential: When closed tightly, angle cocks minimize the risk of leaks, preventing water damage. Ease of Use: The ergonomic handles offer a comfortable grip for easy and smooth operation.
