Angle valve with filter FERRO Z1238KF 1/2" x 3/8" (angled stop valve with strainer)

FERRO Z1238KF is an angled stop valve with integrated filter, sized 1/2" x 3/8", created for water supply connections to fixtures. The compact 90° design allows shut-off control close to the wall while the built-in strainer catches particles to protect downstream fittings and flexible hoses. The valve is intended for installations in bathrooms and kitchens where space is limited and an angled connection provides a neat and accessible isolation point.

Advantages

The angled stop valve combines a compact footprint with a reliable shut-off function and an internal strainer that reduces the risk of debris-related blockages in taps and hoses. Its 90° orientation enables easy connection to fixtures in tight spaces and simplifies maintenance because the filter can be accessed during service. The valve is suitable for both new installations and retrofit work where an efficient, space-saving isolation is needed.

Suitable for

• Under-sink water supply to washbasins, kitchen sinks and dishwashers
• Toilet cistern and bidet supply lines requiring an angled connection
• Replacing straight valves where wall clearance is limited
• Plumbing installations needing a local shut-off with debris protection

Key specifications

• Connection sizes: 1/2" inlet to 3/8" outlet (angled)
• Type: angled stop valve with integrated strainer
• Flow orientation: 90° angle for wall-mounted supply points
• Material: corrosion-resistant metal construction suitable for potable water
• Mounting: inline between supply pipe and fixture flexible hose
• Operation: manual shut-off handle for isolation and service

How to use

Install the valve between the incoming supply pipe and the fixture’s flexible hose according to standard plumbing practice, ensuring threaded connections are sealed with appropriate tape or sealant. Orient the valve so the 90° outlet matches the fixture connection. Use the shut-off handle to stop water flow during maintenance or to isolate the fixture; periodically remove and inspect the integrated strainer to clear any collected debris. Follow local plumbing codes and, if unsure, consult a qualified installer.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, flush the supply line before installation to remove loose particles. Inspect the strainer at regular service intervals, especially if water quality is variable. Avoid excessive torque on fittings during installation to preserve threads and seals.
