Angle valve with filter ARCO 1/2" x 3/8" (model 02402MAC)

ARCO angle valve with filter 1/2" x 3/8" (model 02402MAC) is a compact plumbing shut-off valve with an integrated inlet filter designed for supply lines to faucets, toilets and small appliances. The valve provides reliable flow control and filtration at the connection point, reducing the risk of debris reaching downstream fittings. Constructed for household and light commercial installations, the unit fits standard 1/2" supply lines and delivers a straightforward shut-off function combined with particulate protection.

Advantages

The integrated filter captures sediment and particles before they enter fixtures and hoses, extending the service life of connected devices. The angle configuration enables neat wall or basin connections and simplifies access for maintenance. Designed for standard plumbing dimensions, the valve offers compatibility with common fittings and straightforward installation without the need for extensive modifications.

Suitable for

• Supply lines to bathroom and kitchen faucets
• Connections to toilets and bidets
• Supply to dishwashers, washing machines and small appliances
• Replacement or upgrade of existing shut-off valves in residential or light commercial settings

Key specifications

• Connection sizes: inlet 1/2" — outlet 3/8"
• Type: angle shut-off valve with integrated inlet filter
• Mounting orientation: wall or fixture-side angle connection
• Material: corrosion-resistant valve body suitable for potable water systems
• Operation: manual quarter-turn (or multi-turn depending on installation) shut-off

How to use

Install the valve between the supply pipe and the fixture using compatible fittings for 1/2" to 3/8" connections. Before installation, shut off the main water supply and drain the line. Secure the valve to the supply line and tighten connections to manufacturer-recommended torque or using appropriate sealing methods. After installation, open the main supply and check for leaks; inspect the filter area periodically and clean if debris accumulation affects flow.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, verify compatibility with local plumbing standards and use appropriate sealing tape or compound on threaded connections. Inspect and clean the integrated filter at regular maintenance intervals or if reduced flow is noticed. In hard-water conditions, periodic removal and descaling of the filter will help maintain proper flow and protect downstream fixtures.
