Wrap Sealing Tape
Wrap sealing tape around the threaded part of the new angle valve 3/8 x 3/8, typically 3-5 turns, to ensure a tight connection and prevent water leakage. -
Install the New Angle Valve 3/8 x 3/8
Align the threaded end of the angle valve 3/8 x 3/8 with the water pipe connection and screw it in clockwise. Use a wrench to tighten it securely. -
Connect the Water Pipe
Attach the 3/8-inch water pipe to the other end of the angle valve 3/8 x 3/8, ensuring a precise connection. Tighten it with a wrench to avoid any looseness. -
Check for Leaks
Turn the main water supply back on and inspect the newly installed angle valve 3/8 x 3/8 for any leaks. If there are any drips, tighten the connections or apply additional sealing tape as needed.
