Brass Compression Stop Tap - supplied with pre-loaded olive in compression nut.  
Suitable for hot and cold water systems.  
 
A compression stop tap is a plumbing valve that controls the flow of water, allowing you to shut it off for repairs or in an emergency. It uses a compression fitting, which creates a watertight seal by squeezing a ring (ferrule or olive) onto the pipe when the nut is tightened, making installation easier and requiring no soldering. These taps are used for both hot and cold water and are available in various sizes and materials, like brass. 
How it works
Compression fitting: The key feature is the compression fitting, which is made up of a nut and a ring or ferrule.
Tightening the nut: When you tighten the nut, it forces the ferrule to squeeze onto the pipe, creating a secure and leak-proof connection.
Installation: This method avoids the need for soldering, making it suitable for situations where soldering is not feasible and is ideal for both new installations and maintenance. 
Common uses
Isolating sections: It allows you to isolate a specific section of plumbing for repairs or modifications without having to turn off the main water supply.
Emergency shut-off: It provides a way to quickly shut off the water to an entire home in case of a burst pipe or leak.
General control: It can be used as the main control point for a water supply to turn the water on and off as needed.
Various applications: While common in domestic settings, they are also used in industrial, agricultural, and other infrastructure applications.
