Angle valve with butterfly handle FERRO Z1238K 1/2"x3/8"

FERRO Z1238K is an angle valve with a butterfly (wing) handle, designed for right-angle connection of plumbing fixtures. With a 1/2" x 3/8" connection size, the valve provides manual on/off control of cold and hot water supply to fixtures such as washbasins, toilets, and household appliances.

The butterfly handle offers intuitive manual operation and permits rapid shut-off in maintenance or emergency situations. Its right-angle configuration simplifies connection to flexible hoses and supply lines, reducing the need for additional fittings. The valve is intended for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where reliable manual isolation is required.

How to use

Shut off the main water supply before installing the valve. Connect the inlet thread to the supply line and the outlet to the flexible hose of the fixture, ensuring thread seals are applied where required and connections are tightened to appropriate torque. Use the butterfly handle to open or close the flow: rotate the handle to the open position for normal operation and to the closed position to isolate the fixture for maintenance. After installation, check joints for leaks and operate the valve once to confirm smooth movement.

Usage recommendations

Install the valve in accessible locations to allow quick manual shut-off. Use appropriate thread sealant or tape compatible with potable water systems and follow local plumbing codes. Periodically operate the valve to prevent stiffness and inspect for signs of wear or leakage; replace if corrosion or persistent leaks are detected.
