Angle ball valve BENKISER TRICORN 1/2” x 3/4” (corner shut-off valve)

Angle ball valve BENKISER TRICORN 1/2” x 3/4” is a corner shut-off valve designed to join and isolate water supply lines with different thread sizes. The valve has a compact angled body and a ball closure that provides reliable on/off control. Its size and layout make it suitable for installation at fixtures, behind radiators or in confined spaces where a change of thread size is required during repair or replacement of shut-off fittings.

Advantages

The angled design allows easy connection where straight valves do not fit, and the ball mechanism ensures quick, full-flow shut-off with minimal pressure drop. Constructed for typical domestic plumbing conditions, the valve offers a compact footprint for installation in tight spaces and straightforward operation for service or emergency isolation. Thread size mismatch is resolved by the differing inlet and outlet thread dimensions without the need for additional adapters.

Suitable for

• Domestic water supply shut-off at sinks, toilets and radiators
• Repair and replacement of existing shut-off fittings with different thread sizes
• Isolating sections of piping during maintenance
• Installations in confined or angled locations where space is limited

Key specifications

• Connection sizes: one side 1/2" and the other side 3/4" (angle configuration)
• Type of closure: ball valve for quarter-turn operation
• Body orientation: angled/corner design for compact installation
• Application: potable water distribution and domestic plumbing
• Operation: manual handle for open/close control

How to use

Shut off the main water supply or isolate the section to be worked on before installation. Fit the valve so the inlet and outlet threads match the existing pipework orientation and tighten to recommended torque using appropriate tools and sealing material where required. Operate the ball handle with a quarter turn to open or close the flow. After installation, check for leaks at both connections and ensure the valve operates smoothly through a full open/close cycle.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate thread sealant or tape on threaded joints and avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to threads. Inspect and test the valve after installation and periodically as part of routine plumbing maintenance. For systems with higher temperatures or aggressive media, verify material compatibility before use.
