Tap water valve is generally divided into two kinds, one is ball valve, and the other is gate valve. The ball valve wrench is vertical when the water pipe is closed, is a twist or reverse, 90 degrees wrench and water pipe is open when the direction; valve handwheel clockwise turn off, anti clockwise turn is open. Valve in the application should not be twisted too tight, so as to avoid the thread buckle, spool off. Ball valve applications save effort and durability.
The valve clockwise rotation of the handwheel is to close the valve, counter clockwise direction is to open the valve, the number above said valve opening rotating the handwheel clockwise along the colonel, to the above number 0 corresponding pointer is completely closed; in counter clockwise direction, to a maximum of 5 numbers above corresponding pointer, is the valve open to the largest degree.
The valve that can rotate is the principle of screw and nut. We can see that the switch is also buckled, so it is counterclockwise, the net is rotated out, clockwise downward, so it is off.
