Angle valve ARCO 1/2" × 16 mm with red handle, model 868015

ARCO angle valve model 868015 is a compact manual shut-off valve with a 1/2" × 16 mm connection and a red handle. Designed for plumbing installations, this valve provides straightforward on/off control for water supply lines and is suitable for use with 16 mm piping. Its angled body allows installation in confined spaces where a straight valve would be less practical, enabling isolation of fixtures and short sections of the system for maintenance or repair.

Advantages

The ARCO angle valve offers reliable flow control with a simple quarter-turn operation via the red handle, enabling quick isolation of a water line. Its compact angled design reduces required installation space and helps align piping in tight layouts. Constructed for standard residential and light commercial plumbing, the valve facilitates service access and routine maintenance without the need to shut off the main supply.

Suitable for

• Isolation of sinks, basins and toilets in residential bathrooms and kitchens
• Shut-off for water supply to appliances such as dishwashers and washing machines (when compatible)
• Service and repair work on short sections of 16 mm piping
• Replacement of worn or leaking local shut-off valves

Key specifications

• Connection size: 1/2" × 16 mm
• Valve type: angle shut-off valve (manual)
• Actuation: red manual handle, quarter-turn operation
• Material: corrosion-resistant metal components (plumbing-grade)
• Application: cold and hot water supply lines in residential and light commercial systems
• Installation position: angled, suitable for confined spaces

How to use

To install, ensure the water supply is turned off and drain the line. Fit the valve to compatible 16 mm piping using appropriate compression or push-fit connection methods compatible with the valve ends, and tighten to the manufacturer's recommended torque. Operate the red handle to open or close the valve; a quarter-turn typically moves the valve between fully open and fully closed positions. After installation, check for leaks at joints and verify correct operation by briefly opening and closing the valve under pressure.

Usage recommendations

Use the ARCO angle valve for routine isolation and maintenance tasks on 16 mm water lines. Inspect connections after installation and periodically during service life. Avoid excessive torque on handle movement and on threaded or compression fittings. For systems with high temperatures, aggressive media, or special certifications, confirm material compatibility before use.
