At what angle should the corp stop be installed?

The correct angle for installing a corp stop is 45 degrees. This angle is optimal because it allows for easier access and manipulation of the stop valve, facilitating operation and maintenance. Installing the corp stop at this angle ensures that it can be effectively serviced and that operational stresses are minimized, reducing the risk of damage to both the valve and the piping system.

Additionally, a 45-degree angle provides a good balance between stability and accessibility, enabling workers to operate the valve using standard tools without undue strain or excessive force. Other angles could hinder operations; for instance, a steeper angle might make it difficult to reach the valve or could lead to premature wear through misalignment.
