1. Overview of Angle Type Valve
An angle type valve is a valve with an angular structure designed for adjusting water flow direction and controlling flow rate. It is suitable for installation at pipe interfaces where flow direction needs to be changed, ensuring flexible fluid control. This valve is typically made of brass or stainless steel, with some high-end models equipped with high-temperature-resistant sealing components to enhance durability and sealing performance. Leveraging advanced production technology and modern manufacturing equipment, Chinese faucet factories supply high-quality angle type valves globally and offer OEM/ODM customization to meet diverse market demands.
2. Installation Steps for Angle Type Valve
Before installing an angle type valve, prepare the following tools and materials:
- Angle Type Valve
- Adjustable wrench or pipe wrench
- Teflon tape or sealing glue
- Water supply pipes and fittings
(1) Turn Off the Main Water Supply Before installation, always turn off the main water supply to prevent leaks during the process.
(2) Inspect the Pipe Interface Ensure the pipe interface is clean and free of debris or damage. If needed, use sandpaper or a damp cloth to enhance sealing effectiveness.
(3) Apply Sealing Material Wrap 5-8 turns of Teflon tape evenly around the threaded connection of the angle type valve or apply an appropriate amount of sealing glue to improve the seal.
(4) Connect the Angle Type Valve Use an adjustable wrench or pipe wrench to screw the angle type valve into the pipe interface in a clockwise direction, avoiding excessive force to prevent thread damage.
(5) Connect to the Water-Using Appliance Attach the other end to a water-using appliance such as a toilet, sink, or water heater, ensuring a secure connection.
(6) Test the Installation Once installation is complete, slowly turn on the water supply and check for any leaks. If leakage occurs, adjust the sealing material or tighten the valve accordingly.
3. Maintenance and Recommendations
Regularly inspect the sealing ring of the angle type valve and replace it if signs of wear appear. Avoid excessive force when operating the handle to prevent internal damage. In cold environments, ensure proper insulation to prevent freezing and cracking.
