Introduction to Stainless Steel Extended Angle Valve
The stainless steel extended angle valve produced by Chinese faucet factories is made of high-quality stainless steel, offering excellent corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, and heat resistance. Compared to standard angle valves, this model features an extended body design, making it ideal for installation in confined spaces or hard-to-reach areas. This design ensures smooth water flow control even in challenging environments.
Installation Steps
- Prepare Tools and Materials:
- stainless steel extended angle valve
- Pipe wrench or adjustable spanner
- PTFE tape (plumber’s tape)
- Anti-rust gaskets
- Shut Off the Water Supply:
Ensure the main water valve is turned off, and drain any remaining water from the pipes to prevent leaks during installation. - Connect the Extended Angle Valve:
- Align the inlet of the stainless steel extended angle valve with the main water pipe joint, ensuring the threaded connection is clean and free of debris.
- Wrap PTFE tape around the threaded section 3-5 times to enhance the seal.
- Carefully connect the extended section of the angle valve to the pipe and tighten it using a pipe wrench, ensuring the connection is firm and secure.
- Connect the Water-Using Device:
- Attach the outlet of the stainless steel extended angle valve to the target device (such as a faucet or toilet).
- Use PTFE tape on the threaded joint once again to prevent leaks and confirm a watertight seal.
- Test the Angle Valve:
- Slowly turn on the main water supply and open the stainless steel extended angle valve to check the water flow.
- Inspect all joints for leaks; if any leaks are detected, turn off the water supply and re-tighten the connections as needed.
Maintenance Tips
- Regular Inspection: Check the stainless steel extended angle valve connections every 3-6 months, especially the extended section, to prevent leaks caused by aging or loosening.
- Cleaning: Wipe the valve surface with a soft cloth to remove limescale and dirt, keeping it clean and functional.
- Lubricate the Knobs: If the valve switch becomes stiff, apply a small amount of lubricant to the knobs for smooth operation.
Conclusion
With years of expertise and advanced manufacturing techniques, Chinese faucet factories produce stainless steel extended angle valves that are not only durable but also solve water flow control issues in complex installation environments. Whether for home renovations or commercial plumbing systems, our stainless steel extended angle valves provide reliable and long-lasting performance.
