Question:

Where can i find angle valve for sink?

I need an angle valve for my sink buts its a bit of an odd size. I have copper tubing at 1/2 i need a valve preferably compression that can feed to a water supply that is 1/2 Pipe thread.Included images of the supply hose valve to sink. To help show what i'm looking for.

Answer:

If you're looking for a valve that attaches to a 1/2 iron pipe coming out of the wall, and then will feed to 1/2 copper tubing, then you're looking for- an angle stop, 1/2 female iron pipe to 1/2 compression. Just about any good hardware store will have it in stock or be able to order it, just be sure that they know what you need. I've often found that using visual aids,like a piece of pipe in one hand, and a piece of tubing in the other, with an empty space, waiting for a valve, between them, can be an invaluable aid to communication. Don't even try to cut and adapt a braided hose. The stainless braid contains a (relatively thin) rubber hose. Without the braid to reinforce it, it will burst. If you need to adapt plumbing, there is always a way to get water from point A to point B. The challenge is finding the most elegant route.
