Understanding the Basic Angle Seat Valve
The basic angle seat valve is a commonly used fluid control device in industrial applications, widely applied in automation equipment, water supply pipelines, and industrial liquid handling systems. Its body is usually made of stainless steel or high-strength plastic, while the valve seat uses wear-resistant rubber or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) material to enhance sealing performance. The angled design reduces water flow resistance and noise, significantly improving flow efficiency and ensuring smooth system operation.
Preparation Before Installation
- Confirm Valve Model: Ensure that the basic angle seat valve you are using matches your system requirements, including connection size, working pressure, and temperature range.
- Inspect Valves and Pipes: Carefully check the basic angle seat valve and related pipes for any damage or blockages before installation.
- Prepare Tools: Basic tools such as a wrench, PTFE tape, and screwdriver should be ready.
Installation Steps
- Clean the Connections: Wipe the pipe connections with a clean cloth to remove dust and debris.
- Wrap PTFE Tape: Evenly wrap PTFE tape around the valve threads to enhance the seal.
- Connect the Valve: Attach the inlet of the basic angle seat valve to the water supply pipe and tighten it clockwise. Be careful not to over-tighten to avoid damaging the threads.
- Adjust the Angle: Ensure the angled design of the valve points in the direction of fluid flow to guarantee smooth water flow.
- Secure the Valve: Use a wrench to reinforce the connection and prevent loosening.
Post-Installation Testing
- Turn on the Water Supply: Slowly open the water valve and check for leaks around the basic angle seat valve.
- Adjust the Flow: Rotate the valve handle to test the flow adjustment function.
- Check Sealing: Close the valve completely and ensure the water flow stops without dripping.
Maintenance and Care
- Regular Inspections: Check the valve’s performance and sealing status quarterly.
- Clean the Valve Body: Wipe the exterior of the valve with a damp cloth to keep it clean.
- Replace Seals: If leakage occurs, promptly replace the wear-resistant rubber or PTFE seals.
