1. Leaking
One common problem with angle valves is leaking. Leakage can happen due to several reasons, such as defective seals, corroded threads, or loose connections. To fix the leaking problem, it is important to identify the source of the leakage. If the seal is defective or damaged, it needs to be replaced. If the threads are corroded, cleaning them with a wire brush and applying joint compound may help. Tightening loose connections may also solve the problem.2. Difficulty in Turning
Another issue with angle valves is difficulty in turning. This can be caused by several reasons, such as rusted or worn-out threads, a damaged handle, or a defective washer. To fix this problem, first, try lubricating the threads with a penetrating oil. If this does not work, consider replacing the handle or washer.3. Blocked Valve
Sometimes, debris or sediment can accumulate inside the valve, causing it to block. This can restrict the flow of water or air and affect the overall performance of the system. To fix this, turn off the water or air supply and disassemble the valve. Clean the inside of the valve with a wire brush or wash it with water and detergent.4. Noise
Faulty angle valves can make noise when turned on or off. This can be due to several reasons, such as a loose washer or valve stem, a water hammer, or a damaged valve seat. To fix this problem, check the washer and valve stem and make sure they are tight. Install an anti-water hammer device or replace the valve seat if necessary. In conclusion, angle valves are essential components of plumbing and HVAC systems, but they can face different problems that need to be addressed. Regular maintenance and inspection can help prevent these problems and ensure the proper functioning of angle valves. Yuhuan Wanrong Copper Industry Co.
