The brass angle valve, also called the angle stop valve, is a valve designed to regulate and shut off water. Its body is made of brass and is resistant to corrosion. There are various types of this valve including the straight shutoff and multi turn stop valves.
Angle valves are often used in piping schemes that have limited space. They are also commonly used in heater drain service. As such, they are ideal for repair work without interrupting the flow of water.
Angle valves come in a variety of designs, including cage and expanded outlet connections. They can also have a threaded inlet and outlet ports. These valves have a National Pipe Thread (NPT) thread and a leak-tight rubber seal.
The valve seat is a very important part of the angle valve. If the seat is damaged, it can cause leakage. Before assembling the valve, it's best to clean the stem and the seating area. Additionally, the plug should be in good condition. This is crucial for regular flow of fluid through the valve.
To determine whether the valve is in good condition, you can perform a check of the valve's body and the thread gauge. Make sure that the threads are not oversize. In addition, you need to clean the seat of any debris or dirt.
Another thing you should consider before installing the angle valve is the outlet flange. You can replace this flange to prevent any water leakage.
