How to Remove and Install an Angle Valve?

[DelElla]

Angle valve removal and installation method: 1. First, turn off the water source, i.e., close the main valve. 2. Remove the metal hose connected to the angle valve by turning it counterclockwise, and use a special wrench to grip the triangular position of the angle valve and rotate it counterclockwise. Do not use excessive force during removal; angle valves are generally not installed very tightly unless they are rusted in place. 3. During installation, wrap 4-5 turns of PTFE tape around the threads of the angle valve, winding it tightly from the outside to the inside in a clockwise direction. Then, screw the angle valve into the pipe fitting in a clockwise direction, leaving 2-3 threads exposed to complete the installation. The following is an introduction to angle valves: An angle valve is an angle-type stop valve, similar to a ball valve, with its structure and characteristics derived from modifications of the ball valve. The difference between an angle valve and a ball valve is that the outlet and inlet of an angle valve form a 90-degree right angle. Angle valves are also known as triangular valves, angle-shaped valves, or angle water valves.
