Angle stop valve Sourcing LOCKSHIELD 1/2in x 1/2in chrome

The Sourcing LOCKSHIELD angle stop valve in chrome finish, size 1/2in x 1/2in, is an angled isolation valve designed to control and shut off the water supply to fixtures. Its compact design fits typical plumbing installations under sinks, toilets, and behind appliances, allowing local shut-off and flow regulation where a 90-degree connection is required. The chrome plating provides a smooth surface that resists corrosion and integrates visually with modern plumbing fittings.

Advantages

The valve offers reliable shut-off capability and fine flow adjustment through its lockshield mechanism, enabling maintenance or replacement of fixtures without shutting off the main supply. Its angled body allows installation in confined spaces or where straight valves cannot be used. The chrome finish enhances durability and simplifies cleaning, while standard 1/2in connections ensure compatibility with common supply lines and fittings.

Suitable for

• Under-sink water supply isolation for taps and mixers
• Toilet cistern or bidet supply shut-off
• Connection to dishwashers, washing machines and other appliances
• Tight or recessed installation locations where an angled valve is needed

Key specifications

• Connection size: 1/2in x 1/2in
• Orientation: angled (approximately 90°)
• Finish: chrome-plated exterior
• Function: isolation and flow regulation (lockshield)
• Typical application: cold and hot water supply lines to fixtures

How to use

Install the angle stop valve at the feed point to the fixture using compatible 1/2in fittings and appropriate sealing method for your installation (thread sealant tape or approved joint compound where required). Turn the valve clockwise to close and stop water flow, or counterclockwise to open and restore supply. Use the lockshield feature to set a desired flow rate for balancing or to prevent accidental adjustment; follow standard plumbing practice for tightening without over-torquing to avoid damage to threads or valve body.

Usage recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, ensure the valve is installed by a qualified fitter or competent DIYer following local plumbing codes. Periodically operate the valve to prevent seizing, and check for leaks at connections after installation and during routine inspections. Avoid excessive force when operating the mechanism to preserve the chrome finish and internal seals.
