Stop Valve

A stop valve is a mechanical device used to control the flow of fluid (typically liquid or gas) through a pipe. It can completely stop or allow the flow by rotating a handle or knob. These valves are commonly used in domestic plumbing systems, industrial pipelines, and mechanical systems to isolate sections for maintenance or repair. Key Features: Function: Start, stop, or regulate fluid flow. Type: Manually operated (typically by handwheel or lever). Material: Brass, stainless steel, or cast iron depending on application. Operation: Rotary motion to open/close an internal disk or plug against the flow. Applications: Used in water supply lines, HVAC systems, and compressed air systems. Ideal for isolating a portion of the system without affecting the whole.
