Angle Stop Valve Polished Brass
The Kingston Brass KB3542BL is a quarter-turn angle stop valve designed to control water flow to plumbing fixtures. It features a 1/2 inch sweat inlet and a 3/8 inch OD compression outlet for supply line connections. The valve is constructed from solid brass for durability and dependability. Its contemporary cylindrical lever handle coordinates with modern bathroom or kitchen decor.
Installation and Common Issues
The sweat connection requires copper piping and soldering equipment for a permanent, watertight joint. Improper solder technique or insufficient cleaning of the pipe ends often leads to leaks at the inlet. The compression outlet demands correct ferrule orientation and nut torque to seal against the supply tube without crushing it. The quarter-turn cartridge allows quick shut-off but can seize if water sediment builds up inside the valve body over time.
Practical Limits of Sweat and Compression
A sweat joint is permanent; altering the layout later requires cutting the pipe and installing a new valve. The connection suits copper tubing only and cannot join directly to PEX, CPVC or threaded steel without additional transition fittings. The 3/8 inch OD compression outlet accepts standard supply tubes but is not compatible with larger 1/2 inch OD lines. System water pressure and temperature must remain within typical residential ranges for the brass body and cartridge seals to function reliably.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the angle stop valve is operating correctly after installation?
Turn the lever handle a quarter-turn and verify water flows freely; turn it back to ensure the valve shuts off completely without drips at the 1/2" sweat and 3/8" OD compression connections.
What components are included with the KB3542BL and what must be purchased separately?
The valve body, lever handle and compression nut are supplied; sweat-fitting solder, flux and supply tubes for the 3/8" OD outlet are not included.
Which finish option matches the Concord series in polished brass?
The KB3542BL is the Polished Brass version of the Concord collection; other finishes exist but this model is specifically the polished brass variant.
