Ductile Iron DN65 Angle Valve

Definition:
An angle valve is a type of manual valve characterized by its inlet and outlet ports that are perpendicular to each other, typically at 90 degrees.
 These valves are widely used to stop or control the flow of a fluid in a pipe and are sometimes simply referred to as stop valves.

Applications:
Angle valves serve multiple purposes, primarily in residential plumbing and industrial settings. They are used to shut off water to specific fixtures or appliances without affecting the entire plumbing system, which is particularly useful during maintenance or repair.
 Common applications include connections to toilets, faucets, and other fixtures, allowing for localized water control.

Types:
Angle valves come in various types, each with specific functions:

Angle Stop Valve: Used to shut off the water supply to fixtures like sinks, toilets, and urinals. They are easy to turn off in case of a leak.
Compression Angle Valve: Uses a rubber gasket to create a seal and is often used in water lines where high water pressure is present.
Multi-Turn Angle Valve: Used to control water flow in piping systems and is often found in residential applications such as washing machines and dishwashers.
Angle Ball Valve: A quarter-turn valve that regulates water flow in household plumbing by aligning a hole in the ball with the inlet and outlet ports.
Ceramic Angle Valve: Not detailed in the provided sources but generally known for their resistance to wear and tear.
2-in-1 Angle Valve: Allows control of both water flow and temperature with a single valve, commonly used in showers.
Thermostatic Radiator Valve: Regulates the temperature of individual radiators in a central heating system by sensing the room temperature around the radiator.
2-Way and 3-Way Angle Valves: Allow connections between different inlets or outlets, useful in various industrial and plumbing applications.
Features and Functions:
Angle valves are known for their ability to regulate or control the flow and pressure of various liquids, chemicals, and gases.
 They can be used as shutoff valves, needle valves, or in more complex control systems.
 The design and materials of angle valves are chosen based on the specific pressures and conditions they will encounter.

Materials:
Angle valves can be made from a variety of materials, including brass, stainless steel, PVC, cast iron, bronze, and carbon steel, which are selected based on their suitability for different media and environments.

Operation:
Angle valves are operated manually, often with a twist handle or lever, allowing for precise control over the flow. Modern designs often feature a ¼ turn handle for quick shut-off in emergency situations.
