I'm working on adding a water line in my kitchen for connecting an espresso machine directly. I need a valve that will protrude from the wall and serve this purpose. It's similar to what you would use for a refrigerator ice maker, but I'm hoping for something that looks nicer. Essentially, I have a 1/2" pipe making a 90-degree turn and ending with a valve on the other side of the drywall, but I can't seem to figure out what this type of valve is called.

You might want to check out something called a 'pot filler faucet.' They're typically designed for filling pots but can be versatile for other uses, including espresso machines. They usually have an articulated arm for reaching different areas, which could be really handy!
I found a product called an 'Ice Maker Outlet Box' that might fit your needs. It's a neat solution that includes a valve, although I understand you're looking for something a bit more stylish. Here's a [link to it](https://www.lowes.com/pd/EASTMAN-Quarter-Turn-Ball-Valve-Pex-Ice-Maker-Outlet-Box/1001401106) if you want to check it out!
Yeah, I think that’s going to be my solution too. Honestly hoping for something prettier since I won't install the machine right away.
If you don't mind the valve sticking out a bit, you could search for 'decorative angle stop' valves. There are some upscale options available that could blend well with your kitchen's design, matching various styles and finishes.
The answer and a link in one svelte package. Nice!
