Slowly Open Angel Valve: Precision Flow Control in a Compact Design
This product spotlight focuses on the Slowly Open Angel Valve, a meticulously engineered 1/2'' solution designed for reliable and controlled water flow management. Combining functional design with durable materials, this valve offers distinct advantages in various plumbing applications.
Key Specifications:
Size: 1/2'' (Standard connection size)
Weight: 112g (Exceptionally lightweight)
Handle Color: Transparent Black (Modern aesthetic, clear visibility)
Body Color: White (Clean, universal appearance)
Handle Material: ABS Plastic (High-strength, impact-resistant polymer)
Body Material: ABS Plastic (Durable, corrosion-proof polymer)
Product Advantages:
Controlled Opening ("Slowly Open" Feature): The defining characteristic is its gradual opening mechanism. Turning the handle slowly increases water flow, effectively preventing water hammer. Water hammer is the destructive shockwave caused by the sudden stopping or starting of water flow in pipes, which can damage fittings, appliances, and pipework over time. This valve protects your plumbing system.
Corrosion Resistance: Constructed entirely from ABS plastic, both the body and handle are completely immune to rust and corrosion. This makes the valve ideal for humid environments, long-term use with various water qualities, and applications where metal valves would deteriorate.
Lightweight & Easy Handling: Weighing only 112g, this valve is significantly lighter than traditional metal (brass, copper) alternatives. This simplifies handling during installation, reduces stress on connection points, and makes it easier to work with, especially in tight spaces.
Durable Construction: ABS plastic provides excellent impact resistance and structural integrity. It withstands typical pressures found in residential and light commercial water systems without cracking or deforming, ensuring long service life.
Visual Clarity & Safety: The transparent black handle allows for visual confirmation of the valve's position (open or closed) at a glance. The distinct color contrast between the white body and black handle also aids quick identification in complex plumbing setups.
Cost-Effective Solution: ABS material and efficient manufacturing make this valve a highly cost-effective choice compared to metal valves, without sacrificing critical performance features like flow control and durability.
Smooth Operation: The design ensures the handle turns smoothly and requires minimal effort, providing a user-friendly experience for operation and adjustment.
Ideal Applications:
Connecting water supply lines to toilets, sinks, washing machines, and dishwashers.
Isolating appliances or fixtures for maintenance or repair.
Point-of-use shut-offs under sinks or behind appliances.
Applications where corrosion resistance is paramount (e.g., coastal areas, certain industrial settings).
Situations requiring prevention of water hammer.
Conclusion:
The Slowly Open Angel Valve (1/2'') stands out as a smart, modern solution for water flow control. Its unique slow-opening mechanism prevents damaging water hammer, while the robust ABS plastic construction (white body, transparent black handle) ensures corrosion resistance, durability, and lightweight ease of use. Combining essential safety features, clear visual indicators, and cost-effectiveness, this 112g valve offers reliable performance and protection for your plumbing system. It's an excellent choice for installers and homeowners seeking a dependable, long-lasting, and feature-rich angle valve.
