kfa² angle connector for valve 1/2" model 814-005-00

kfa² angle connector for valve 1/2" model 814-005-00 provides a compact right-angle connection between a 1/2" threaded valve and adjacent pipework or fittings. Designed for standard plumbing installations, this component creates a stable mechanical and fluid-tight linkage while minimizing space requirements. It is intended for household and light commercial applications where a change of flow direction or a neat installation around obstacles is needed.

Advantages

The angle connector offers a reliable mechanical connection for 1/2" valves with a compact footprint that reduces installation depth. Its right-angle configuration simplifies routing of supply lines and allows closer placement of fixtures to walls or cabinets. The part is constructed to ensure consistent sealing performance when installed to appropriate torque and with standard sealing materials.

Suitable for

• Changing flow direction in domestic water supply lines
• Connecting a 1/2" valve to a pipe or fitting in confined spaces
• Plumbing installations behind sinks, toilets, and cabinets
• Light commercial plumbing where a compact valve connection is required

Key specifications

• Connection type: right-angle (90°) connector for 1/2" threaded valve
• Intended thread size: 1/2" (compatible with standard 1/2" plumbing threads)
• Application: potable water supply and general plumbing systems
• Installation orientation: 90° change of direction between valve and pipe
• Typical materials: corrosion-resistant metal alloy suitable for water installations

How to use

Shut off the water supply and relieve pressure before beginning installation. Prepare the valve and mating pipe threads by cleaning and, where appropriate, applying a suitable thread sealant or tape. Thread the angle connector onto the valve by hand to start, then tighten to the manufacturer-recommended torque or to a secure, leak-free fit using suitable tools. Verify alignment of the outgoing pipework and make any final adjustments before restoring water and checking for leaks.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible 1/2" threaded valves and fittings, apply appropriate sealing materials, and avoid excessive torque to prevent thread damage. Inspect joints after initial pressurization and periodically during normal use to ensure continued tightness and leak-free operation.
