Does such a valve exist?

[Flapper]

You know those valves used on flushometer flush valves? They are a stop valve that is in the shape of a 90˚ elbow.

Well, is there any kind of (sweat) valve that is in this form factor? (other than the one designed for flushometers) One that fits 1" pipe and fits in or close to the form factor of a 90˚ elbow? I couldn't find such a thing anywhere.

You could adapt a watts check stop:

I suppose that means they don't exist... I could also adapt a flushometer stop valve
Well... they should exist! They'd be great for situations like main valve assemblies with two stub-outs from a wall that are too close together to replace the old in-line valve.

Oh hey! I found "angle globe valves" used for fire protection...
http://www.nibco.com/Valves/Fire-Protection/Angle-Globe-Valves/
So that's what they're called... they're called "Angle Globe Valve" (or just "Angle Valve")... now can I find one that is designed for potable water use and not fire protection

 

[Flapper]

Yep, they exist! http://www.nibco.com/Valves/Globe-and-Angle-Valves/Bronze-Angle-Valves/

None of those Nibco globes are approved for drinking water.

That's the problem... why aren't they?

They are not lead free.

They are not lead free.

*sigh* why do they have to put lead wherever they possibly can? -_-
Well... those valves are the closest thing to what I want... so close. Why doesn't anyone make an angle valve for drinking water use; someone should make angle ball valves, or at least angle globe valves, for potable water systems.

I wonder if this will help: https://www.sloan.com/download/packager/file?filename=Control_Stop_AllFlushometers.pdf

Page 102 suggests a sweat solder adapter.

Yeah... I don't think those are suitable for potable water...

You are looking for 1 inch, right?

They don't say they are not for potable, where the Nibco globes said not for potable.

Let's put it this way. You could have used as many of these valves, and drank as much water as you wanted to, from these valves on Jan. 2, 2015. Overnight, they became "deadly" on Jan. 3, 2015, as specified in the Nibco documentation. The A Y McDonald valves specify that they are lead free. The Sloan valve does NOT have a "pipe thread" outlet.
