The Plumbright Angle Isolating Valve (Q60127) is an essential component for homeowners and professional plumbers looking to gain granular control over their plumbing system. Designed for 15mm copper pipe and 1/2 inch threaded connections, this valve allows you to isolate water flow to a single fixture—such as a toilet, sink, or dishwasher—for maintenance or repairs without shutting off the main water supply to your entire home. While highly effective, it is strictly intended for internal plumbing applications and requires basic compression fitting skills for a successful, leak-free installation.

This valve is designed for standard 15mm copper piping. If using plastic pipe, you must use a dedicated pipe insert to ensure the compression fitting remains secure.
While there is a minor reduction due to the internal mechanism, it is designed to provide sufficient flow for standard sinks, toilets, and appliances.
You will need a pair of adjustable spanners or pipe wrenches to tighten the compression nuts.
Typically, when the handle is aligned perpendicular to the pipe, the valve is in the closed position.
No, this is intended for indoor use within a protected plumbing system.
Yes, it is suitable for both hot and cold residential water supply lines.
Tighten the compression nut by a quarter-turn. If the leak persists, disassemble and ensure the olive is not distorted and the pipe end is clean.
Gently apply a food-safe silicone lubricant and cycle the handle several times to break down internal mineral deposits.
Tighten the gland nut located behind the handle; if this does not stop the leak, the internal seal has likely failed and the unit should be replaced.
To install this valve, ensure your 15mm copper pipe is cut cleanly and deburred to prevent damage to the compression olive. Slide the nut and olive onto the pipe, insert the valve, and tighten the nut securely with a wrench, holding the valve body steady to avoid twisting the pipe. The 1/2 inch outlet connects directly to standard flexible tap connectors. For care, it is recommended to cycle the valve once every six months to prevent mineral buildup (calcification) which can seize the internal mechanism over time.
