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.
