An angle valve is provided which is mountable on the exterior of a container having a container valve disposed therein and which includes a valve housing composed of a container-side connecting member having a front face and a channel formed therein opening onto the front face for communication with the container and a loading-side connecting member disposed at an angle to the container-side connecting member, which has a channel formed therethrough and which is capable of communication with a loading line. The valve housing further includes an intermediate connecting member having a receiving chamber formed therein which establishes communication between the channels of the loading-side and the container-side connecting members, with the loading-side connecting member disposed to discharge into the receiving chamber tangentially relative to the container-side connecting member. A valve seat is mounted within the receiving chamber, and a stroke-adjustable locking member is mounted within the receiving chamber and disposed for cooperative engagement with the valve seat. A manually-adjustable valve spindle is mounted in the receiving chamber and is coupled to the locking member with its axis substantially parallel to the front face of the container-side connecting member. In addition, an actuating plunger is disposed in and extends through the channel of the container-side connecting member for coupling with the container valve disposed in the container, and a pneumatically-operable actuating member is supported on the housing and coupled to the actuating plunger.
