Description
Charman 1/2" Push Fit x 3/8" OD 1/4 Turn Angle Stop
Charman 1/2" Push Fit x 3/8" OD 1/4 Turn Angle Stop provides a convenient fixture shutoff connection between compatible 1/2" CTS water-supply tubing and a 3/8" OD supply connection. The push-fit inlet helps simplify installation without soldering, clamps, unions, or glue, while the quarter-turn valve provides convenient on/off water control.
The angle-stop configuration redirects the fixture supply connection approximately 90 degrees from the incoming water line. This makes the Charman 440983 useful for residential and commercial plumbing installations where water-supply tubing approaches through a wall or another location requiring a directional change before connecting to the fixture supply line.

What Is a Push Fit 1/4 Turn Angle Stop?
A push fit angle stop is a fixture shutoff valve designed to connect directly to compatible tubing while changing the direction of the fixture supply connection. The Charman 440983 combines a 1/2" push-fit tubing connection with a 3/8" OD fixture-side connection in a compact angle-body configuration.
The quarter-turn valve allows the water supply to be opened or closed with a short handle movement. This provides a convenient local shutoff point for fixture servicing, replacement, maintenance, or emergency isolation without requiring the entire building water supply to be shut down.

1/4 Turn Angle Stop Design
The Charman 440983 uses a quarter-turn valve mechanism for quick fixture isolation. A short 90-degree handle movement operates the valve between its open and closed positions, providing a convenient alternative to traditional multi-turn shutoff designs.
The angle-body arrangement redirects the connection between the incoming 1/2" tubing and the 3/8" OD fixture supply connection. This configuration is particularly useful when water-supply tubing approaches through a wall and the fixture connection requires a directional change.

- In compatible copper, CTS CPVC, and PEX water-distribution systems
- Where push-fit installation can simplify a plumbing repair or renovation
- For residential and commercial installations requiring a directional change at the fixture supply connection
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the 1/2" push-fit inlet and 3/8" OD outlet sizes.
- Verify the angle configuration matches the fixture supply layout.
- Cut tubing square and make sure the connection surface is clean and free of burrs.
- Fully insert compatible tubing into the push-fit connection before placing the system in service.
- Verify the complete plumbing system is suitable for the intended pressure, temperature, media, and applicable codes.
Product Selection Considerations
Connection Size
Select the Charman 440983 when the installation requires a 1/2" push-fit tubing connection and a 3/8" OD fixture-side connection. Verify both connection sizes before ordering.
Installation Orientation
Choose the angle-stop configuration when the incoming water line and fixture supply connection require an approximately 90-degree directional change. Use the separately listed Charman straight stop when the connections need to remain generally in line.
