The water valve is used to control the switch. The switching direction of different water valves may be different. If the installation is reversed, it may cause trouble for subsequent use. Where is the water valve switch at home? What are the consequences of the reverse direction of the tap water valve? This issue of like valve gives you detailed answers!
1、 Where is the water valve switch at home
1. Some people’s water valves will be installed indoors or outdoors. If installed indoors, some people may install it in the corner of the kitchen or in the bathroom.
2. Generally speaking, it is a triangle valve or ball valve, which has good waterproof performance and is not easy to rust. When closed, we can close the valve immediately, but under normal circumstances, it should be open.
3. The main switches of some valves will be arranged outdoors, close to the house. If we live in the community, we can go to the water valve well downstairs and find our own water pipe main valve. If you can’t find it, you can ask the staff of the property company directly.
2、 What are the consequences if the tap water valve switches in the opposite direction
If the tap water lifting valve is installed reversely, the water flow will become smaller, which will increase a lot of unnecessary trouble for subsequent use. For example, if the gas-fired water heater at home doesn’t catch fire, the time for receiving water will also become longer. After a long time, it is easy to cause dirt precipitation at the valve and even block the water flow in the pipeline. Therefore, it is suggested to deal with the problems in time, dismantle the lifting valve again and install it in the correct water flow direction.
The reverse installation of tap water valve will affect the water pressure.
If it is installed reversely, it is the stop valve. The valve core is closed, and the water can’t pass at all. If it is to say that the pressure reduction is also reduced, but there is no water at the inlet, and the pressure is 0.
In general, there is an arrow on the valve body of the pressure reducing valve. The direction of the arrow is the direction of water flow. It can’t be wrong to install one by one.
If it is installed reversely, the effect of the check valve will be formed according to the standard. If it is not standard, it will pass through the water according to the same pressure, but the water volume will be smaller, and the pressure will be the same after a long time.
