Having an independent shut-off valve next to each fixture improves the serviceability of the plumbing system. The Taksa angle valve is installed at the water connection point of the fixture so that the flow to that specific branch can be shut off when replacing a hose, washbasin faucet, or servicing the connected equipment. On this page, both common Persian spellings of the product name may be referenced for search coverage, while the Taksa product naming remains consistent.
Where Is an Angle Valve Used?
- Under washbasins and kitchen sinks to shut off the cold- or hot-water supply
- At compatible flush tank and sanitary fixture inlets
- On water branches serving dishwashers or other fixtures with compatible connections
- In new construction and renovation projects for bathrooms and kitchens
Function and Role of the Angle Valve in Plumbing Systems
An angle valve acts as a local shut-off point. Instead of closing the main water supply for the entire unit, only the flow to the required fixture is stopped. This reduces service time and is practical for installers, building managers, and users. Correct inlet and outlet size selection is important, and the valve should not be used with fluids or under operating conditions outside its approved specifications.
Angle Valve Selection Guide for Installers
- Match the wall connection size with the hose or connected fixture size.
- Allow sufficient space for handle movement and future maintenance access.
- Count the required cold- and hot-water points separately for the project.
- For project installations, using the same valve model throughout all units simplifies spare-parts management and servicing.
Angle Valve Installation and Maintenance Tips
- Before installation, flush the pipe to remove debris and installation residue.
- Avoid excessive tightening and prevent hose loads from being transferred to the valve body.
- After installation, inspect the connections for leakage in both the open and closed positions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Taksa Angle Valves
Are the Persian terms “Pisval” and “Pisvar” used for the same type of valve?
Yes. In the Iranian market, both terms are commonly used for the same product category, although “Pisvar valve” is generally the more common search term.
Why is an angle valve needed under a washbasin?
It allows the water supply to that specific fixture to be shut off when replacing a hose or repairing the faucet, while other water outlets remain operational.
Which angle valve size should be selected?
The size should match the wall outlet and the connection of the hose or fixture. A qualified installer can determine the correct combination.
