A faucet angle valve is a common and essential hardware component widely used in both residential and commercial water supply systems. Its primary function is to connect the faucet to the water supply pipe, allowing users to control water flow and pressure by turning the valve switch. When a faucet needs repair or replacement, the angle valve can shut off the water supply to the faucet without affecting the entire household water system, providing significant convenience.
Preparation Before Installation
Before starting the installation of the faucet angle valve, prepare the following tools and materials:
- Wrench
- PTFE tape
- Faucet angle valve (made of brass, stainless steel, or PVC)
- Clean cloth
Ensure the water supply is turned off, and check if the pipe interface is clean and smooth.
Installation Steps
- Wrap PTFE Tape
Wrap an appropriate amount of PTFE tape around the pipe thread to enhance sealing and prevent leaks. - Connect the Angle Valve
Align the inlet of the faucet angle valve with the water supply pipe, and rotate the angle valve clockwise until tightly secured. Use a wrench to gently tighten it, avoiding excessive force to prevent thread damage. - Attach the Outlet
Connect the faucet or hose to the outlet of the faucet angle valve. Secure it with a wrench, applying moderate force. - Check for Leaks
Turn on the water supply and slowly rotate the faucet angle valve switch to check for any leakage at the connection points. If leaks occur, remove the valve, add more PTFE tape, and reassemble.
Important Considerations
- Choose the right material: Faucet angle valves are commonly made from brass, stainless steel, or PVC. Brass offers durability and corrosion resistance, stainless steel suits humid environments, and PVC is cost-effective.
- Proper positioning: Ensure the valve handle is easy to access and not placed in a cramped area.
- Regular maintenance: Test the valve’s functionality periodically, especially if it hasn’t been used for a long time.
