SCHLOSSER angle valve 1/2" x 1/2" (model 606000012) is a compact right-angle shut-off valve designed for controlling cold and hot water flow in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. The valve provides manual on/off control at junction points and is suitable for installations where space is limited. Its 90-degree configuration allows connection of fixtures, fittings or appliances while keeping the installation neat and accessible for maintenance.

Advantages

The valve’s compact right-angle body reduces the space required behind fixtures and simplifies installation in confined areas. A manual handle offers straightforward visual and tactile feedback for open and closed positions. The design is intended to provide a reliable shut-off point for routine maintenance or emergency isolation without the need to shut down the main supply. Durable materials and simple construction support long-term use under normal household conditions.

Suitable for

• Shutting off supply to sinks, washbasins and faucets
• Connecting water supply to toilets, bidets and small appliances
• Isolating sections of plumbing for maintenance or repairs
• Use in tight or recessed installation spaces behind fixtures

Key specifications

• Connection size: 1/2" x 1/2" suitable for standard threaded plumbing connections
• Configuration: right-angle (90°) shut-off valve
• Operation: manual on/off control via a mechanical handle
• Application: designed for residential and light commercial water supply systems
• Installation: in-line mounting at junction points for fixtures and appliances

How to use

Shut off the main water supply before installing the valve. Thread the valve onto matching 1/2" fittings or pipe ends, ensuring that sealing materials such as PTFE tape or approved sealant are applied to the threads to prevent leaks. Orient the valve so the outlet aligns with the fixture or appliance and tighten to a secure, leak-free connection. Use the handle to open or close the valve when supplying or isolating the downstream fixture. Check connections for leaks after pressurizing the system and operate the valve a few times to confirm smooth movement.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, install the valve in accessible locations and avoid over-tightening during installation. Use compatible plumbing sealants on threaded joints and perform periodic inspections for leaks or stiffness. If the valve is exposed to freezing conditions, drain the connected circuit to prevent damage. For installations with higher temperatures or aggressive water conditions, select materials and seals appropriate to the environment.
