Angled stop valve SCHELL 1/2" x 3/8" (model 049490699)

The Angled stop valve SCHELL 1/2" x 3/8" is a compact 90° angle valve designed to provide a local shut-off point for water supply to sanitary fixtures. It features a 1/2" inlet and a 3/8" outlet thread connection and is intended for installation where independent isolation of a toilet, washbasin or similar fixture is required for maintenance or leak control. The valve body and connection geometry are sized for typical domestic and light commercial plumbing systems and allow straightforward integration into existing supply lines.

Advantages

This angled stop valve offers a space-saving 90° design that eases installation in confined wall or under-sink locations. The simple shut-off function enables quick isolation of a fixture without interrupting the main supply. The standardized 1/2" inlet and 3/8" outlet thread connections ensure compatibility with common flexible hoses and supply fittings used on toilets and washbasins. The valve is engineered for everyday plumbing use and provides a reliable means to perform maintenance or react to leaks.

Suitable for

• Isolating individual sanitary fixtures such as toilets and washbasins
• Under-sink or behind-cabinet installations where a compact angled valve is needed
• Repair and maintenance tasks requiring local shut-off points

When it may not be suitable

The valve is intended for standard domestic and light commercial cold and hot water supply systems; it may not be suitable for high-pressure industrial applications or systems requiring special corrosion-resistant materials. For installations that demand integrated backflow prevention, electronic control, or non-standard thread sizes, a different product should be selected.

Key specifications

• Connection orientation: 90° angled stop valve
• Inlet thread size: 1/2"
• Outlet thread size: 3/8"
• Intended use: local shut-off for sanitary fixtures
• Typical installation locations: under sinks, behind toilets, within service cabinets

How to use

Install the valve in the supply line with the 1/2" inlet connected to the incoming water feed and the 3/8" outlet connected to the fixture supply hose or fitting. Use appropriate sealing tape or approved fitting sealants on threaded joints where required by local plumbing codes. Tighten connections to the torque recommended for similar fittings to avoid damaging threads. Operate the valve by turning the control to open or close the water flow; verify the connection for leaks after installation and perform a pressure test if required.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the inlet and outlet thread sizes (1/2" inlet and 3/8" outlet) match your existing fittings and supply hoses
• Verify the valve material and finish are compatible with your installation environment and any water treatment used
• Ensure the valve’s pressure and temperature capabilities meet your system requirements

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, install the valve accessible for periodic inspection and operate it occasionally to prevent seizing. After installation, check all joints for leaks and follow local plumbing codes regarding sealing materials and test procedures.
