Angle valve SCHELL Comfort with cap for faucet connection 1/2" x 3/8" (049070699)

SCHELL Comfort angle valve with cap for faucet connection 1/2" x 3/8" is an angled shut-off valve intended for isolating the water supply to a mixer tap or faucet. Designed for compact installation behind basins or sinks, the valve provides a straightforward means to stop water flow during installation, maintenance or replacement of fittings. The model fits a 1/2" supply connection and a 3/8" outlet to the faucet, and includes a protective cap to cover the operating mechanism when not in use.

Advantages

The valve offers a compact right-angle design that saves installation space and allows neat connections in confined areas. Constructed to meet plumbing application requirements, it provides reliable shut-off capability and a protected cap to prevent dust and mechanical damage to the control element. The simple connection sizes (1/2" inlet and 3/8" outlet) match common faucet fittings, facilitating fast replacement or retrofitting without extensive pipework changes.

Suitable for

• Isolation of water supply to bathroom mixer taps and basin faucets
• Compact installations behind sinks or furniture where angled connections are needed
• Service, repair or replacement of faucets without shutting off the entire household supply

Key specifications

• Connection inlet: 1/2" (supply side)
• Connection outlet: 3/8" (to faucet)
• Type: angled shut-off valve with protective cap
• Application: indoor potable water installations for faucets and mixer taps

How to use

Install the SCHELL Comfort angle valve on the supply pipe using appropriate fittings and sealing methods according to local plumbing practice. Connect the outlet to the faucet hose or tailpiece sized 3/8" and secure all connections. To isolate the faucet for maintenance, close the valve by turning the control until the water flow stops, and place the cap over the control if protection is required. When reopening, turn the control slowly to avoid pressure surges and check connections for leaks.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible 1/2" supply fittings and 3/8" faucet hoses; verify pipe and thread types before installation. Follow local plumbing codes and, if unsure, engage a qualified plumber for installation or servicing. Inspect seals and connections periodically for tightness and signs of wear.
