This 90-degree angled isolation valve is designed for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts needing to connect 15mm pipework to 1/2" flexible tap connectors in confined spaces. Its key benefit is providing fast and complete water isolation with a quarter-turn mechanism. A potential caveat is the specific connection sizes, requiring compatible fittings. This valve features a 15mm compression inlet and a 1/2" BSP male flat-faced outlet, an angled design for tight spots, and is suitable for both hot and cold water systems, making it versatile for new installations and repairs.

The 15mm compression inlet is designed to connect to standard 15mm copper or plastic pipes that are suitable for use with compression fittings.
The 1/2" BSP male flat-faced outlet is designed to create a secure seal with the flat face of a corresponding 1/2" BSP fitting, commonly found on flexible tap connectors (flexi tails).
No, this valve is specifically designed for water systems (hot and cold) and must not be used for gas connections.
With the screwdriver slot aligned parallel to the pipework, the valve is fully open. When the slot is perpendicular to the pipework, the valve is fully closed.
While not explicitly stated, these valves are typically designed for standard domestic hot and cold water systems. For specific limits, consult the manufacturer's detailed specifications if available.
Yes, it is suitable for exposed plumbing but ensure connections are protected from physical damage and extreme environmental conditions.
Turn off the water supply. Ensure the pipe is cut squarely. Check that the olive is correctly positioned and tighten the compression nut further. If the leak persists, the olive or pipe may be damaged, requiring replacement.
Turn off the water supply. Check the rubber seal on the flexible tap connector for damage or debris. Ensure the flexi-tail is correctly aligned and tightened onto the valve outlet.
Ensure the water supply is turned off. Gently try to work the handle back and forth. If still stiff, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the stem. Operate the handle periodically to prevent this issue.
Ensure the valve is fully open (quarter-turn handle in the correct position). Check the flexible tap connector and any associated filters for blockages.
