Brasscraft - 1/2" x 3/8" Copper sweat x compression Angle Stop Valve Lead Free Screwdriver Slot

The BrassCraft Copper Sweat × Compression Angle Stop Valve with Screwdriver Slot is a lead-free brass angle shutoff valve designed to control water flow to individual plumbing fixtures. It features a 1/2 in copper sweat inlet for permanent soldered installation and a 3/8 in OD compression outlet for connecting standard fixture supply lines. The multi-turn operating mechanism includes a screwdriver slot in the stem, allowing the valve to be operated with either the metal handle or a flat-head screwdriver. Its chrome-plated finish provides corrosion resistance and a professional appearance, making it ideal for residential and commercial potable water systems.

Usage

This valve is installed at the water supply line serving a faucet, toilet, bidet, ice maker, or similar fixture. The 1/2 in sweat connection is soldered onto copper tubing, while the 3/8 in compression outlet connects to a standard supply tube without soldering. The angle pattern provides a clean 90-degree outlet, and the screwdriver slot offers an alternative method of operation when handle clearance is limited or the handle has been removed during servicing.
