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.
