Angle Valve Configuration
FIP Connection
The female iron pipe threaded connection allows installation with compatible male-threaded piping components.
90° Valve Body
The angle-pattern body changes the direction of the piping connection while providing an accessible shutoff point.
Handwheel Control
The metal handwheel provides manual valve operation for opening, closing, and isolating the connected plumbing line.
Construction Details
Midland Lead-Free Brass Angle Valves are manufactured from forged brass to provide dependable strength, corrosion resistance, and long service life in compatible water distribution and plumbing systems.
Female threaded end connections allow straightforward installation with compatible threaded pipe, nipples, fittings, and plumbing components.
The 90° body configuration is useful where the supply connection and outlet need to change direction while maintaining convenient access to the valve handwheel.
Why Choose an Angle Valve?
Compact Shutoff Solution
- Provides local manual shutoff control
- Changes connection direction by 90°
- Useful in confined plumbing installations
- Reduces the need for separate elbow fittings in some layouts
- Provides accessible handwheel operation
Lead-Free Brass Construction
- Suitable for potable water applications
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- Strong forged brass body
- Designed for dependable plumbing service
- Suitable for residential and commercial systems
Angle Valve vs. Straight Valve
Angle Valve
An angle valve redirects the connection by 90°, making it useful where the supply line and connected piping or fixture are positioned perpendicular to one another.
Straight Valve
A straight-pattern valve maintains an inline connection and is generally selected when the inlet and outlet piping follow the same direction.
Typical Applications
Residential & Commercial Plumbing
- Water supply shutoff
- Fixture supply connections
- Plumbing equipment isolation
- Maintenance access points
- Water distribution systems
General Piping Systems
- Commercial plumbing systems
- Building water distribution
- Mechanical equipment connections
- Service and repair installations
- Compatible potable water applications
Size Selection
Midland Lead-Free Brass Angle Valves are available in multiple pipe sizes.
Confirm the required FIP connection size and verify compatibility with the male-threaded piping component before ordering.
Our plumbing specialists can help review the required pipe size, FIP connection, potable water requirements, system pressure, temperature, and installation layout before you order.
