What is the valve angle?
The angle valve is a fluid control device used in plumbing and industry. It has input and output ports aligned at an angle with respect to each other, the most common angle is 90 degrees. Input and output ports can be connected to each other for connection to galvanized steel and iron pipes, or they may have compression fittings for connecting to copper pipes. When the valve angle is used as a shut -off valve for residential water accessories, it is called an angle valve or simply stopping the angle.
In angular valves, two different valve mechanisms are commonly used. The compression mechanism has a sub -stem stem that tightens the pad or ground joint against the valve seat to stop the liquid or flow of the gas when the handles are turned counterclockwise. On the other hand, as a firmly fitting ball made of metal or plastic with opening through it. The liquid passes through the hole when the valve is open but when the handle is turned 90 degrees, the hole alignperpendicular to the stream and stops.
Residential plumbing systems have several stop stops. Usually one is associated with each toilet and two to each faucet so that the water to these accessories can be turned off if they need repair. Many residential water pipes are made of copper, so the input port of the residential angle valve usually has compression assembly, while the development ports are so that it can be screwed to the flexible tube leading to accessories. A typical residential angle is the angle of a ball valve made of chrome metal with a cheap plastic ball and can have one or two output ports depending on how many accessories it adds.
There are many uses for the valve angle in industry and public services. For transmission and release of compressed fuels such as liquid propane, it is used to transmit and release compressed fuels such as liquidPropan. Urban wires often direct pressure water over the valve angle, which is located to be accessible. These companies can also install the angle control valve in their lines to prevent the rear flow of contaminants into the drinking water. At the output, the valve angle at the bottom of the water, which stores water or other liquid, can also be installed to allow the pipe to be routed vertically from the output to another tank or anywhere else.
