Do you have to choose between angle valve and ball valve in toilet or do you have to have both?

28 Mon 2022

Ball valves are generally used as the main valve for household water intake. The ball valve is mainly used to cut off, distribute and change the flow direction of the medium in the pipeline. It only needs to be rotated 90 degrees and a small torque can be closed tightly. Ball valves are most suitable for switching and shut-off valves.

The angle valve is an angle globe valve. The angle valve is similar to the ball valve, and its structure and characteristics are modified from the ball valve. The difference with the ball valve is that the outlet of the angle valve is at a right angle of 90 degrees to the inlet. The angle valve is an indispensable thing in every family, but many people do not know much about the function of the angle valve. Simply put, the role of the angle valve is to maintain the terminal equipment.
Therefore, the terminals such as bathrooms and kitchens use angle valves, which are easy to adjust the size of the water flow and have a more beautiful appearance.

How many ball valves are needed for general home decoration?
The ball valve probably only needs one, and it is installed at the main water inlet of the family for the main switch.
Kitchen: sink faucet (installed on the countertop) (2 angle valves); water inlet (1 angle valve); dishwasher (1); shower hot and cold water (2)
Bathroom: bathtub outlet/massage tub/overall shower room/shower screen (2); basin faucet (2); toilet (1); bidet (2)
The amount of triangle valves for one bathroom and one kitchen is about 5-7, and the amount of triangle valves for two bathrooms and one kitchen is about 8-12.
The price of an all-copper angle valve is only 20 to 30 yuan, and a ceramic valve core of a full-copper angle valve can generally be used for more than 10 years. If other materials are not good, it is estimated that water will leak in two or three years. It is more worry-free to choose a good material from a big brand. Submarine is a relatively recommended brand. The floor drains, angle valves, faucets and other hardware in my house are basically submarines. The texture is very good, and there is no problem so far.
