The land surrounding the Nile believed that environmental conditions occurred because of the gods.

Can an angle stop control water flow pressure?
An angle stop is not intended to control water pressure for most applications. That being said, however, you can control the pressure with an angle stop valve (Aka angle pattern globe valve) while there is flow. As soon as the flow stops, then the pressure will equalise throughout the system.
I would suggest using a PRV or pressure reducing valve. This will control water pressure under most all conditions.
