What is a Plumbing-angle-valve?
A plumbing-angle-valve is a device used to control the water supply system, mainly for switching water flow on and off and adjusting flow rates. It is widely used in kitchens, bathrooms, and industrial pipelines, connecting water pipes to faucets, toilets, or other water appliances, ensuring convenient water flow control.
Functions and Uses of Plumbing-angle-valve
- Water Flow Control: By turning the valve handle, you can quickly shut off or open the water flow, making it easy to maintain equipment or handle emergencies.
- Water Pressure Adjustment: Some plumbing-angle-valves allow for water pressure adjustment, protecting water appliances from excessive pressure.
- Diverter Connection: The plumbing-angle-valve usually connects the wall water outlet to hoses or faucets, ensuring stable water flow delivery.
Installation Steps of Plumbing-angle-valve
- Confirm Specifications Before installation, check whether the diameter of the water pipe matches the plumbing-angle-valve interface size. Our Chinese faucet factory produces plumbing-angle-valves according to international standards, ensuring precise thread interfaces with strong compatibility.
- Prepare Tools Tools needed include a wrench, PTFE tape (or other sealing materials), and a screwdriver.
- Installation Process
- Turn off the main water supply to prevent leakage during installation.
- Wrap PTFE tape around the threaded part of the plumbing-angle-valve to enhance the seal.
- Use a wrench to screw the plumbing-angle-valve into the wall water pipe interface, tightening it but avoiding excessive force.
- Connect the hose or faucet and check whether all connections are firm.
- Testing and Adjustment Turn on the main water supply, slowly rotate the plumbing-angle-valve handle, and check for any leaks. If dripping occurs, adjust the sealing material and retighten the valve.
Maintenance and Care
To extend the lifespan of your plumbing-angle-valve, our Chinese faucet factory recommends regularly checking the valve’s flexibility and the sealing of the interfaces. Also, monitor water pressure fluctuations to prevent damage caused by excessive pressure.
