Quarter Turn Valve FIP Compression
This Vintage quarter-turn valve connects a 1/2 inch FIP thread to a 3/8 inch O.D. compression fitting. It is intended for bath faucet installations where a quick shut-off is required. The quarter-turn mechanism allows rapid flow control with minimal effort. Suitable for residential plumbing repairs or new fixture connections.
Replaces Multi-Turn Supply Stops
This valve replaces older multi-turn angle stops that require several rotations to close. The quarter-turn design is worth the upgrade when faster emergency shut-off is a priority. It reduces the time needed to isolate a fixture during maintenance. The change is most noticeable in tight spaces where handle rotation is limited.
Fits Standard Bath Supply Lines
The valve fits into a bath supply line using the 1/2 inch FIP inlet and 3/8 inch compression outlet. It requires compatible supply tubing and thread sealant for a watertight joint. No special tools beyond standard wrenches are needed for installation. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to chemicals in the product materials.

Questions about this item
What pipe threads does the 1/2 inch FIP inlet connect to?
The inlet uses standard 1/2 inch female iron pipe threads that screw onto a matching male pipe end.
Which way do I tighten the compression nut onto the 3/8 inch supply tube?
Slide the nut and ferrule onto the tube, insert the tube fully into the valve body, then tighten the nut clockwise until snug plus a quarter turn.
When should I replace the quarter-turn cartridge inside the valve?
Replace the cartridge if the handle becomes stiff, drips appear at the spout when closed, or the valve no longer shuts off cleanly.
