How to Replace an Angle Valve?
1 Answers
Replacing an angle valve involves the following steps: Turn off the water supply by closing the main valve, then remove the metal hose connected to the angle valve by turning it counterclockwise. Use a specialized wrench to grip the triangular position of the angle valve and turn it counterclockwise to remove. Avoid using excessive force during removal. Once removed, install the new angle valve. An angle valve, also known as an angle stop valve, is similar to a ball valve, with its structure and characteristics derived from modifications of the ball valve. The key difference is that the outlet and inlet of an angle valve form a 90-degree right angle. Angle valves are also referred to as triangle valves, angle-shaped valves, or corner water valves, named for the 90-degree turn the pipeline makes at the valve.
