Slip-Joint Angle-Stop Valve: An Overview
Exact flow management begins with choosing the proper shutoff valve. The angle stop isolates single fixtures without interrupting the main supply. Ideal for fixing faucets or upgrading toilets.
Unlike straight stops, the angled design saves space in tight corners. BrassCraft’s multi-turn knob allows precise flow tuning. Kingston Brass features a stainless ball mechanism to prevent sticking—perfect in mineral-rich water environments.
- Easy Maintenance: Swap supply lines or fix leaks without shutting off the main valve.
- Durable Build: Corrosion-resistant brass body with 1/2″ FIP inlet (12-14 NPT threads).
- Flexible Outlet: Fits 7/16″–1/2″ supply tubes for universal connection.
Operates between 40°F and 160°F for both hot and cold lines. Backed by Kingston Brass’ one-month money-back guarantee, it’s a worry-free upgrade for any DIYer.
