Angle/Elbow Valve with Ceramic Cartridge 1/2" x 3/8" — No name H/EKO 3/8

Angle/elbow shut-off valve with a ceramic cartridge, connection size 1/2" x 3/8" model H/EKO 3/8 by No name is a compact plumbing component designed for control and isolation of water supply lines. The elbow form allows connection in tight spaces behind sinks, toilets and household appliances, while the ceramic cartridge provides reliable sealing and increased durability compared with soft-seated valves. The valve is intended for cold and hot water distribution systems where a space-saving shut-off point is required.

Advantages

The ceramic cartridge ensures a tight, drip-free shut-off and is resistant to wear from frequent operation. The 90° elbow configuration reduces the length of exposed piping and simplifies installation in confined mounting locations. The compact body minimizes interference with cabinetry and fixtures and supports standard flexible hose connections. Materials and construction are chosen to provide long-term functionality under normal domestic water conditions.

Suitable for

• Shut-off and isolation of water supply to sinks and washbasins
• Connection to toilets and bidets in limited space
• Supply lines for dishwashers and washing machines where a compact valve is needed
• Replacement of inline angled valves in existing plumbing installations

Key specifications

• Connection dimensions: 1/2" (inlet) x 3/8" (outlet)
• Valve type: angle / elbow shut-off valve
• Sealing element: ceramic cartridge for tight shut-off
• Application: potable hot and cold water systems
• Form factor: 90° elbow to save installation space
• Mounting: inline, installed at supply branch behind fixtures

How to use

Install the valve in the water supply line at the branch point using appropriate fittings for the specified connection sizes. Ensure supply is turned off before replacing or fitting the valve. Tighten threaded connections to the recommended torque for the materials used, and avoid over-tightening which can damage seals. After installation, open and close the valve to verify smooth operation and check for leaks at connections. The valve can be left partially or fully open as required for regular water use or closed to isolate fixtures for maintenance.

Usage recommendations

Flush the supply line before installing to remove debris that could abrade the ceramic cartridge. Operate the valve periodically to prevent seizing in long-term installations, and inspect connections after the first 24 hours of use. For aggressive water chemistry or non-potable systems, consult local standards or a plumber to confirm material suitability.
