What is a 2 way 90 degree angle valve?
A 2 way 90 degree angle valve is a commonly used plumbing fitting, typically made of brass or zinc alloy, with a chrome-plated surface to enhance corrosion resistance. This angle valve features a 90-degree corner design, making it suitable for changing the direction of water flow, such as corner installations or multi-pipeline junctions. The dual outlet design allows it to control water flow in two directions simultaneously, making it an ideal diverter for wall water outlets.
Preparation before installation
Before installing the 2 way 90 degree angle valve, prepare the following tools and materials:
- Wrench
- PTFE tape
- Sealant
- Water pipes and connectors
- Clean towel
Also, make sure to turn off the main water supply to prevent any water leakage during installation.
Installation steps
- Determine the installation position Choose a wall water outlet at a corner or a place where water needs to be diverted. Ensure the pipe threads are clean and intact.
- Wrap PTFE tape Wrap PTFE tape evenly around the threads of the angle valve, usually 4-5 turns, to ensure a tight seal.
- Connect the angle valve Screw the main inlet of the 2 way 90 degree angle valve into the wall outlet and tighten it with a wrench. Ensure the valve’s direction matches the intended water flow.
- Connect the outlet pipes Attach two water pipes to the dual outlets of the angle valve and tighten the joints with a wrench.
- Check for leaks Turn on the main water supply and gradually open the angle valve. Observe if there is any water leakage at the joints. If leakage occurs, reapply PTFE tape or use sealant to fix the issue.
Maintenance and care
- Regularly check the seals of the 2 way 90 degree angle valve and address any leaks immediately.
- Avoid using acidic or corrosive cleaners to protect the chrome-plated surface.
- If the valve becomes difficult to operate, apply a small amount of lubricant to maintain smooth functionality.
