What is a water shut off valve compression outlet
A water shut-off valve with a compression outlet is a type of angle
valve used to control the flow of water in plumbing systems. The
"compression outlet" refers to the type of connection the valve has
for attaching to the water supply line or pipe.
Here's a breakdown of the key features and components of a water
shut-off valve with a compression outlet:
Angle Valve Design: Like other angle valves, it has an L-shaped design, with the inlet
and outlet at a 90-degree angle to each other. This allows it to be
easily installed in tight spaces, such as behind or beside toilets,
sinks, or other fixtures.
Water Shut-Off Function: The primary purpose of this valve is to control the flow of water
to a plumbing fixture or appliance. When the valve is open, water
can flow through it, allowing the fixture to function. When the
valve is closed, it stops the water flow, preventing water from
entering the fixture or appliance.
Compression Outlet Connection: The compression outlet means that the valve connects to the water
supply line using a compression fitting. A compression fitting
typically consists of a nut and a ferrule (compression ring). When
the nut is tightened, it compresses the ferrule against the pipe,
creating a watertight seal.
Compression Nut and Sleeve: To install the valve, the compression nut is threaded onto the
valve's outlet, and the compression sleeve is inserted onto the
water supply line. When the nut is tightened, it compresses the
sleeve against the pipe, forming a secure connection.
Material: Water shut-off valves with compression outlets are often made of
durable materials such as brass or stainless steel. Brass is a
common choice due to its corrosion resistance and durability.
Quarter-Turn Operation: Most water shut-off valves use a quarter-turn operation. You turn
the handle or lever 90 degrees to open or close the valve fully.
Water shut-off valves with compression outlets are commonly used in
residential and commercial plumbing applications. They are
particularly popular for connecting fixtures like toilets, sinks,
and faucets to the water supply lines. The compression outlet
allows for a secure and leak-free connection without the need for
soldering or special tools.
When installing or replacing a water shut-off valve with a
compression outlet, it's essential to follow proper procedures to
ensure a reliable and leak-free connection. If you're unsure or
uncomfortable with the installation process, it's best to seek the
assistance of a professional plumber to ensure the job is done
correctly and safely.
Standard of angle stop valve?
The standard for angle stop valves is typically based on the
applicable plumbing codes and regulations in a particular region or
country. Different countries may have their own standards and
requirements for plumbing fittings, including angle stop valves.
Some of the commonly referenced standards for angle stop valves
are:
ASME A112.18.1/CSA B125.1: This standard is used in the United States and Canada and covers
plumbing supply fittings, including angle stop valves. It is
published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
and the Canadian Standards Association (CSA).
BS EN 1254-2: This standard is used in Europe and specifies requirements for
copper and copper alloy plumbing fittings, including angle stop
valves. It is published by the British Standards Institution (BSI).
ISO 228-1: This standard specifies the requirements for pipe threads for
threaded connections on fittings, including angle stop valves. It
is published by the International Organization for Standardization
(ISO).
JIS B 2301: This standard is used in Japan and specifies the screw threads for
pipe fittings, including angle stop valves. It is published by the
Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS).These standards cover various
aspects of angle stop valves, including materials, dimensions,
testing, and performance requirements. They ensure that the valves
meet the necessary quality and safety standards for their intended
applications. Manufacturers typically design their angle stop
valves to comply with these standards to ensure that they can be
safely used in plumbing systems.
When purchasing an angle stop valve, it's essential to ensure that
it meets the relevant standards and is certified by reputable
testing organizations. This helps ensure that the valve is of high
quality, reliable, and suitable for use in your plumbing system.
Additionally, local plumbing codes and regulations may impose
specific requirements for plumbing fittings, including angle stop
valves. Therefore, it's crucial to be aware of and follow the
relevant codes and regulations in your area when installing or
replacing angle stop valves. Consulting with a licensed plumber can
be helpful in ensuring compliance with the applicable standards and
regulations.
