FAQs of Brass Angle Stop Valve
1. Is the brass angle stop valve body hot forged or cast?
Plumberstar’s all-brass valve bodies are made with hot forging. This process costs more and has more complex craftsmanship.
In hot forging, high-temperature brass is shaped under huge pressure. The metal’s crystal structure is fully compacted, making the interior dense with no voids. This eliminates common hidden issues like sand holes and micro-pores that come with casting, right from the structure itself. Compared to cast valve bodies, hot-forged ones have much better overall strength, impact resistance, and pressure resistance. They handle water hammer, high-pressure working conditions, and accidental external forces during installation or use far better.
Sand holes in cast valve bodies are almost impossible to see with the naked eye. Even if they pass factory inspection, they might develop leaks at weak points over time. But hot-forged valve bodies have a dense structure. This eliminates leakage risks at the source, ensuring the valve is safe and reliable for long-term operation.

2. Can laser etch our logo on the brass angle stop valve handle?
Of course. You just need to send us a high-resolution vector file of your brand logo—AI, DXF, EPS, and other formats are all fine. Our engineers will first create digital renderings for your review, ensuring the engraving effect, position, and size meet your brand’s needs.
Once you confirm the renderings, we can start formal production right away. The valve body logo is engraved with a fiber laser. No matter its complex graphics or fine fonts, it can be engraved clearly and sharply. It won’t fade or blur, even with long-term use, making it perfect for the demanding requirements of high-end projects and brands.
The marking is done at the same time as the regular production process. There’s no extra processing step, and no delay to the overall delivery time. We make high-efficiency brand customization possible while maintaining stable delivery.
3. Can you provide a detailed cross-section of the brass angle stop valve?
Plumberstar can provide detailed cross-sectional views of brass angle valves. We also add full, clear structural notes and technical descriptions, making it easy for you to understand the product’s internal structure fully.
- The cross-sectional views clearly mark every core valve part—its name, material, and key size parameters. This includes the brass valve body, ceramic valve core, valve stem, handle, gasket, and key info such as inlet and outlet diameters. All structures and parameters are clear at a glance.
- If you need cross-sectional views for specific brass angle valve models—such as different diameter specs, quick- or slow-opening structures, or special design models—you just need to provide the matching product model or technical parameters. Our technical team has 10 years of customization experience, and we can quickly create custom cross-sectional views that match the actual product exactly.
- What’s more, Plumberstar provides technical explanations for these cross-sectional views. If you have any questions about the valve’s internal structure or how it works, our technical staff will give professional answers right away. This helps you understand the product’s structural features more efficiently.
4. Can brass angle stop valves be sold assembled with water supply hoses?
Of course. Plumberstar offers a complete angle valve + hose solution. We can match water inlet hoses to your specific needs, enabling one-stop procurement.
- We’ll pick the correct hose type for you, based on your target market and quality requirements. Options include stainless-steel braided hoses, PEX inner-tube hoses, or models with non-toxic drinking water certification. We also make sure the angle valve threads match the hose nuts exactly, so there’s no installation mismatch or leakage issues later.
- Every assembled angle valve + hose set is pressure-tested as a whole, at 1.5 times the rated pressure. The holding time under pressure must be at least 35 minutes to ensure there is no seepage or leaks at the connections or throughout the system. And we can provide the corresponding inspection records or test reports if needed.
- For configurations, we don’t just offer the basic “single angle valve + single water inlet pipe” set. We can also customize multi-spec, multi-combination sets based on your procurement plan. Buying the complete set also gets you combined pricing benefits—more cost-effective than buying parts separately. This helps cut your overall procurement costs and boost your sales competitiveness.
5. What are the payment terms for brass angle stop valves for long-term partners?
Our payment terms follow a tiered system: the longer we work together and the stronger our trust, the more flexible the terms get.
- Initial Cooperation Payment is a 30% advance deposit, with the 70% balance paid by T/T before shipment.
- Stable Cooperation. This applies to customers with multiple cooperation records, steady order schedules, and smooth communication. We can adjust payment terms flexibly here based on actual needs. For example, the balance can be paid after confirming shipment and receiving a copy of the bill of lading—no need to settle the full amount before goods leave the factory, which eases your cash flow pressure.
- Long-term Strategic Cooperation. This is for core customers with years of cooperation, large order volumes, and a strong payment track record. We offer more competitive credit terms here, such as payment 30 or 60 days after goods arrive. We fully understand the capital-turnover needs of wholesalers and distributors, helping you manage inventory and expand your market with ease.
6. Why choose the Plumberstar factory?
Choosing Plumberstar isn’t just picking a supplier. It’s partnering with a long-term strategic team that truly helps you boost market competitiveness and makes the whole cooperation worry-free.
- We don’t just offer standard valve products. We can start from a single part and co-develop exclusive installation kits, customized functional valves, and high-end products with your brand logo. This helps you break away from pure price competition, build differentiated advantages, and gain stronger pricing power – so you can keep growing your profit margins.
- Every valve we ship goes through 100% pressure testing, with standards higher than regular industry requirements. This cuts the leakage risk to a minimum. We also have a complete, traceable file system. It covers everything from raw material composition testing to each batch’s production and quality inspection records, ensuring product quality remains stable and consistent over the long term.
- Whatever your idea is – a special valve handle shape, custom threaded water outlets, laser-engraved brand logos, or functional needs for specific countries and application scenarios – we can work with you to make it happen. Backed by a 150-person professional team, we can not only handle large-volume orders steadily, but also respond to customization needs and design adjustments in a flexible, efficient way.
7. How to ensure batch consistency for brass angle stop valves?
We control quality from the source – Plumberstar only selects designated grades of brass bars that meet international standards, such as C37700 and CW617N. Every batch of raw materials entering the factory is tested for composition using a spectrometer. Any non-compliant batch is fully returned. This ensures that all valve raw materials are pure, stable, and of consistent quality.
The whole production process uses a standardized CNC machining system. All machine tools run on uniformly verified, mature processing programs. Operators strictly follow procedures for loading materials, monitoring production, and checking the first piece, to avoid human errors. During production, quality inspectors randomly check key dimensions – such as thread depth, inner diameter, and concentricity – using professional tools like micrometers and go/no-go gauges. This ensures every processing step’s precision meets design requirements.
What’s more, each batch of brass angle valves gets a unique independent batch number. This number links to all key information: raw material furnace number, production equipment, processing staff, inspection records, and delivery date. It enables full-process traceability, from raw material intake to finished product shipment. This provides a reliable guarantee for stable product quality and follow-up services.
