One, does the corner valve need to be tightened?
The corner fittings must be tightened, but not over-tightened.
If the angle valve is over-tightened, it can cause leaks. However, if it is over-tightened, the valve is prone to damage. Before installing the angle valve, it is necessary to clean the pipe and ensure that there are no foreign objects inside. Secondly, when installing the angle valve into the inner thread of the wall, it should be rotated clockwise. Then, wrap the rubber sleeve around the angle valve, and wrap it counter-clockwise. This will make the valve tighten as it is rotated, preventing it from loosening. Note: When wrapping, pull the rubber sleeve tight so that it adheres closely to the threads.
Two. What degree of tightening is required for the angle valve to function properly?
When tightening the angle valve, do not tighten it completely. Maintain some resistance, as it doesn't necessarily require complete tightening to prevent leakage. As long as you can feel resistance while tightening, it should be sufficient. Additionally, pay attention to the tightening depth. When installing angle valves, we typically need to ensure that all the valve's threads are fully engaged.
III. important considerations for installing corner beads
1. Before installing the corner guard, ensure that the product surface is free of burrs, that the pipe wall thickness is uniform, and that the switch rotates smoothly. Additionally, flush the water pipes to remove any debris or sediment, to prevent interference with water flow.
2. Pay attention to the winding direction. For example, when screwing a corner groove into the inner thread of the wall, it should be rotated clockwise. Therefore, when winding the material on the corner groove, it should be wound counterclockwise. This will ensure that the corner groove tightens as it is screwed in and will not come loose.
3. When wrapping, ensure the fiberglass yarn is tightly wound around the valve thread, creating a tight and secure fit. Avoid loose wrapping. After wrapping, use your hands to press and tighten the yarn. Alternatively, you can tighten the yarn while wrapping. There is no strict requirement for the number of wraps; however, based on experience, it is generally recommended to wrap at least 15-20 layers to ensure a watertight seal.
