A PPR brass angle valve isolates basins, sinks and toilets at the wall.
The flexible connector screws onto its outlet. Therefore, you can shut off one fixture without stopping the whole house.
What is a PPR brass angle valve?
PPR valves control and isolate water in PPR systems. They have PPR fusion ends, so they weld straight into the line, and brass or plastic internal parts that do the shutting off.
Ball valves open or close with a quarter turn. Stop and globe valves screw down to close and allow finer control. Concealed valves sit inside the wall with only the handle showing.
