ANGLE VALVE & SIPHON GUIDE

DESIGN DETAILS

ANGLE VALVES & SIPHONS.

The parts under the sink rarely get attention — but a mismatched valve or a plain plastic trap is one of the first things a trained eye notices in an otherwise considered bathroom.

SHUT-OFF POINT

WHAT AN ANGLE VALVE DOES.

An angle valve sits between the water supply line and your fixture, letting you shut off water locally for maintenance without affecting the rest of the bathroom.

Choose the DESIGN or COMBINATION angle valve if the fitting will be visible — both are finished in polished chrome rather than plain builder-grade metal.

UNDER THE SINK

WHY THE SIPHON MATTERS.

The siphon (bottle trap) carries waste water away and keeps sewer odours out via a small water seal. On open washstands it's fully visible, so its finish matters as much as the tap above it.

LUXEART's design siphon uses the same solid CW617N brass and polished chrome as the rest of the FLOW line, so it reads as a considered detail rather than plumbing.

CHECK VISIBILITY

Under a closed cabinet, a plain valve is fine. On an open washstand, finish and shape are part of the design.

MATCH THE FINISH

Pair polished chrome fittings with taps and accessories in the same finish for a coherent look.

CONFIRM THE FIT

Standard 1/2" connections fit most European fixtures — check your existing supply line before ordering.

Installation is a straightforward swap for most bathrooms, but if you're unsure about your existing connections, a plumber can fit either part in a few minutes.
