An angle valve is a plumbing fixture designed to regulate the flow of fluids within a piping system. This type of valve is characterized by its 90-degree bend or angle in its structure, allowing it to be installed in tight or confined spaces where a traditional straight valve may be impractical. Angle valves are commonly used in various applications, including residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Key features of angle valves include a threaded inlet and outlet, facilitating easy connection to pipes or hoses. The valve is equipped with a handle or lever that can be turned to control the flow of liquids, making it a convenient and accessible component for users. Angle valves are often employed in plumbing systems for controlling water flow to specific fixtures, such as faucets and toilets.
