A.Y. McDonald 72082-WS Quarter-Turn Supply Stop Valve, 1/2" x 3/4"
The A.Y. McDonald 72082-WS is a quarter-turn supply stop valve sized 1/2" x 3/4", built for rough-in and finish plumbing work where a plumber needs a reliable, fast-operating shutoff between a supply line and a fixture connection. As a quarter-turn stop, it allows the installer to move from fully open to fully closed with a single 90° turn of the handle, which speeds up service calls and reduces wear compared to older multi-turn stem designs. The 1/2" x 3/4" sizing lets this stop bridge a smaller supply line into a larger outlet connection, a common configuration behind washing machines, water heaters, and other fixtures that require a 3/4" outlet from a standard 1/2" supply. A.Y. McDonald is a long-established name in plumbing and waterworks components, and this stop is intended for the same behind-the-wall, under-the-fixture rough-in environment as the rest of the brand's supply and shutoff product lines.
