Angle Valve

Angle Valve for Fire Hose and Standpipe Systems

An angle valve combines manual water control with a 90-degree change in flow direction. Its compact pattern is commonly used where a hose outlet or branch connection must remain accessible without extending straight out from the incoming pipe.

For a coordinated fire-water arrangement, explore AJ Safety Solutions, review the complete fire valve range, and compare compatible fire pipe network components.

How the Angle Pattern Works

Turning the handwheel raises or lowers the internal closing element, allowing the operator to open, regulate, or close the water path. The inlet and outlet are positioned at right angles, which can simplify the layout of a standpipe outlet, cabinet connection, or firefighting hose point.

Key Functional Features

• Manual handwheel operation provides a clear open-and-close action.
• The angle-body layout changes water direction within the valve.
• The outlet can serve as an accessible connection point in a compatible fire-water installation.
• A visible valve position supports routine inspection and operational checks.

Typical Applications

Angle valves may be used at standpipe outlets, hose rack connections, firefighting water points, and selected branches of a water-based fire protection network. The exact valve model must match the approved project drawings and hydraulic design.

Project Specification Notes

Connection size, inlet and outlet thread, body material, finish, pressure rating, and any required listing or approval vary by model and project. These values are intentionally not assumed in this catalog record and should be confirmed against the supplied technical submittal before ordering or installation.

Standards and Maintenance References

Project teams can consult NFPA 14 for standpipe and hose system requirements and NFPA 25 for inspection, testing, and maintenance guidance. Final compliance remains subject to the adopted code, authority having jurisdiction, and approved system design.
