What are the different types of angle valves, and how do I choose the right one?

The Angle valves come in various types, each designed for specific applications and materials. The most common types include:

• Compression Angle Valves: These use a compression nut and ferrule to create a watertight seal and are ideal for copper or plastic pipes.
  Push-Fit Angle Valves: These are easy to install without tools, making them perfect for DIY projects. They work with various pipe materials, including copper, CPVC, and PEX.
  Sweat Angle Valves: These are soldered directly onto copper pipes and provide a permanent, leak-free connection.
  Threaded Angle Valves: These have male or female threads for screwing onto threaded pipes, often used in commercial or industrial settings.

Choosing the right angle valve depends on the type of piping in your home, your skill level for installation, and the specific application. Consider factors like ease of installation, durability, and compatibility with your plumbing system.
