INDUSTRY KNOWLEDGE

Where are angle valves typically installed within a building's plumbing system?

Angle valves, also known as angle stops or angle cocks, are commonly installed at various points within a building's plumbing system to control the flow of water to specific fixtures or appliances. Here are the typical locations where angle valves are installed:
Under Sinks: Angle valves are often found under bathroom and kitchen sinks. They provide individual control for hot and cold water supply lines to faucets.
Toilets: Angle valves are used to supply water to toilets. There are usually two angle valves, one for hot and one for cold, although some toilets may only have a single cold water supply.
Bathroom Fixtures: They may be installed behind or under other bathroom fixtures such as bidets or pedestal sinks.
Washing Machines: Angle valves control the water supply to washing machines, allowing you to shut off the water when necessary, such as during maintenance or when the machine is not in use.
Dishwashers: Similar to washing machines, dishwashers have angle valves to control water supply.
Water Heaters: Angle valves can be installed on the hot water supply line to the water heater to allow for maintenance or repairs.
Outdoor Hose Bibs: In some cases, angle valves are used to control outdoor hose bibs or spigots, particularly in regions where freezing temperatures are a concern. They allow you to shut off water to outdoor faucets during the winter.
Utility Sinks: Angle valves may be installed under utility sinks in laundry rooms, garages, or workshops.
Commercial and Industrial Settings: In commercial and industrial buildings, angle valves can be found in various locations, including restrooms, kitchens, laboratories, and manufacturing areas.

What are the common signs of a faulty or leaking angle valve, and how can such issues be addressed?

Common signs of a faulty or leaking angle valve include water damage, reduced water flow, and visible leaks. If you notice any of these signs, it's essential to address the issue promptly to prevent further damage. Here are the common signs and steps to address a faulty or leaking angle valve:
Signs of a Faulty or Leaking Angle Valve:
Water Dripping or Pooling: If you see water dripping or pooling around the angle valve, it's a clear sign of a leak.
Corrosion or Rust: Corrosion or rust around the valve body or pipe connections can indicate a potential leak or damage.
Reduced Water Pressure: A significant drop in water pressure at a specific fixture or appliance could be caused by a partially closed or faulty angle valve.
Water Stains: Water stains on walls, floors, or ceilings near plumbing fixtures may indicate a hidden leak, possibly originating from a faulty angle valve.
Difficulty Turning the Valve: If the valve is difficult to turn or feels stiff when you attempt to open or close it, it may be malfunctioning.
Steps to Address a Faulty or Leaking Angle Valve:
Shut Off the Water: Before attempting any repairs, turn off the water supply to the faulty angle valve. You can do this by turning the valve clockwise (right) until it is fully closed.
Inspect for Visible Leaks: Examine the valve and the surrounding area for visible signs of leaks. Tighten any loose connections, such as the packing nut or compression nut, if necessary.
Tighten or Replace: If you find a visible leak at the valve's connections, attempt to tighten the nut or fitting causing the leak. Be careful not to overtighten, as this can damage the valve or pipe. If tightening doesn't resolve the issue, consider replacing the valve or the leaking component.
Repair or Replace the Valve: If the valve itself is faulty or if you can't stop the leak by tightening connections, it may be necessary to replace the angle valve. You can do this by disconnecting the old valve and installing a new one. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and use appropriate tools and materials.
Inspect and Repair Surrounding Damage: If the leak has caused water damage to walls, floors, or ceilings, you may need to address these issues as well. Repair or replace damaged materials and ensure that the area is properly dried to prevent mold growth.
Test the Repair: After completing the repair or replacement, turn the water supply back on and carefully check for any leaks. Make sure the valve operates smoothly without any stiffness.
Regular Maintenance: To prevent future issues, periodically inspect your angle valves for signs of wear or corrosion. Perform routine maintenance tasks, such as cleaning, to ensure they function correctly.
