What are angle valves used for?
Angle valves are used in plumbing systems for various purposes. They are essential components that help control the flow of water and provide convenient shut-off points for fixtures and appliances. Here are some common uses of angle valves:
Water Supply to Fixtures: Angle valves are commonly used to supply water to fixtures like sinks, toilets, bidets, showers, bathtubs, and faucets. They serve as connection points between the water supply lines and the fixtures, allowing you to control the water flow to each fixture independently.
Toilet Tank Control: Angle valves are installed on the water supply line that connects to the bottom of the toilet tank. They control the water flow to the toilet tank, allowing you to fill and refill the tank as needed.
Washing Machines and Dishwashers: Angle valves are used to supply water to washing machines and dishwashers. They allow you to control the water flow to these appliances and provide a convenient shut-off point when maintenance or repairs are necessary.
Outdoor Hose Bibs: Angle valves are commonly used in outdoor hose bibs to control the flow of water to the garden hose. They allow you to turn the water on and off when using the hose for watering plants or other outdoor tasks.
Water Heater Connections: Angle valves can be used on the hot and cold water supply lines connected to water heaters. They allow for easy maintenance and repair of the water heater without having to shut off the entire water supply.
Emergency Shut-Off: In case of plumbing emergencies, angle valves serve as emergency shut-off points. Turning off the angle valve can quickly stop the water flow to a specific fixture or appliance, preventing further damage from leaks or burst pipes.
Isolating Plumbing Sections: Angle valves can be used to isolate specific sections of the plumbing system. For example, if there is a leak in a particular area, turning off the corresponding angle valve can prevent water from flowing to that section, allowing for repairs without disrupting the rest of the plumbing system.Angle valves are available in various materials, types, and sizes to suit different plumbing needs and fixtures. It's essential to use high-quality angle valves that meet the necessary industry standards and regulations to ensure reliable water flow control and prevent leaks. Proper installation and regular maintenance of angle valves are vital for their optimal performance in a plumbing system.
What are the different types of angle valves?
Angle valves come in various types, each designed for specific plumbing applications and connection methods. The different types of angle valves include:
Compression Angle Valve: Compression angle valves have compression fittings on both ends, which use a nut and ferrule to create a watertight seal around the pipe. They are commonly used with copper or plastic pipes and provide a secure connection without the need for soldering or threading.
Threaded Angle Valve: Threaded angle valves have female threaded connections on both ends, allowing them to be directly screwed onto male threaded pipes. They are typically used with galvanized or brass pipes and provide a sturdy and reliable connection.
Push-Fit (Push-to-Connect) Angle Valve: Push-fit angle valves, also known as push-to-connect angle valves, have push-fit connections on both ends. They are designed to easily connect to copper, PEX, or CPVC pipes without the need for tools or soldering. The pipe is simply pushed into the valve, and the internal O-rings create a tight seal.
Quarter-Turn (Ball) Angle Valve: Quarter-turn angle valves use a quarter-turn mechanism, typically a ball inside the valve, to control the water flow. They are easy to operate, requiring only a 90-degree rotation of the handle to open or close the valve fully.Multi-Turn (Gate) Angle Valve: Multi-turn angle valves, also known as gate valves, use a multi-turn mechanism with a rising stem to control the water flow. Turning the handle several times raises or lowers the stem, allowing water to flow or stop. They provide precise control but may require more rotations to fully open or close the valve compared to quarter-turn valves.
Two-Way (Dual-Outlet) Angle Valve: Two-way angle valves have two separate outlets, each with its own shut-off mechanism. They are used to supply water to multiple fixtures or appliances from a single water supply line, allowing independent control over each outlet.
Three-Way Angle Valve: Three-way angle valves have three ports, allowing them to divert water flow between two outlets. They are commonly used in shower systems, where they can divert water between a fixed showerhead, a handheld showerhead, or a tub spout.
The choice of angle valve type depends on the specific plumbing application, the type of pipe being used, and the desired level of control and ease of operation. Always ensure that the selected angle valve meets the necessary industry standards and regulations for plumbing fittings to ensure reliable and leak-free performance.
