What is a Double Outlet Angle Valve?
A double outlet angle valve is a type of angle valve that can connect two water-using devices simultaneously, with each outlet having its own independent switch. This design allows users to control water flow separately for a faucet, washing machine, or other equipment without constantly plugging and unplugging hoses or shutting off the main valve. It is especially suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, or areas where additional devices like water filters or purifiers are installed, offering more flexibility for household water management.
Steps to Install a Double Outlet Angle Valve
- Prepare the tools
- Adjustable wrench
- Teflon tape
- Screwdriver
- Double outlet angle valve
- Shut off the water supply
Before installation, turn off the main water valve in your home to prevent water pressure from interfering during installation. - Remove the old angle valve
If replacing an old angle valve, use the wrench to unscrew the old valve and clean the wall pipe interface, removing any rust or debris. - Wrap the threads with Teflon tape
Wrap the Teflon tape evenly around the threads of the double outlet angle valve about 5-7 times. This helps create a watertight seal. - Install the new angle valve
Align the double outlet angle valve with the wall pipe interface, tighten it by hand, then use the wrench to secure it. Be careful not to overtighten to avoid damaging the threads. - Connect water devices
Attach the faucet inlet hose, washing machine hose, or other water supply lines to the two outlets of the double outlet angle valve. Ensure all connections are firm. - Test for leaks
Turn on the main water supply and test both switches on the angle valve one by one. Check for any leaks at the connections. If any leaks are detected, tighten the connections further or add more Teflon tape.
