reduces pressure
When the handle is in line with the pipe, the valve is open.
Possibly, the water pipe feeding from the geyser to that tap has not been secured down properly and is not rattling, or you may need to turn the pressure down on the pressure valve feeding the geyser on the cold line to reduce the noise.
gate valve is the most suitable in pipe line, because when it is opened full, unobstructed water flow will be there i.e. there is no pressure lose.
The position of the handle indicates the direction of the opening through the ball, IE. handle in line with pipe, valve is open, tangent to pipe, valve is closed.
Either shut the gas off at the meter or install a valve on the pipe. As long as you don't have an open flame somewhere close to the gas line and have everything ready, you can take the current flex line off and install the valve with little gas excaping. Use pipe dope on the threads of the pipe instead of Teflon tape. This lets you cap the pipe with your thumb while you apply the pipe dope. Then just install the valve and tighten, making sure to hold the pipe so that you don't disturb the next joint further down the line.
To install a saddle valve for your water supply line, first turn off the water supply. Then, locate a suitable spot on the pipe where the valve can be attached. Use a pipe cutter to cut a small section of the pipe. Place the saddle valve over the cut section and tighten the screws to secure it in place. Turn the valve handle to pierce the pipe and create a connection. Finally, turn the water supply back on and check for any leaks.
A saddle valve is a type of valve used in plumbing systems to connect a water supply line to a pipe. It is typically used to supply water to appliances like ice makers or water filters. The saddle valve is attached by clamping onto the pipe and piercing it to create a connection for the water supply line.
Shut off valve at the wall? Turn the main water line off and change it. How you change it would depend on what type it is and how it attaches to the pipe.
It depends on whether or not your drain line is threaded at the top of the pipe. Older homes like mine have a threaded line but newer homes have a smooth line.
To determine if a valve is open or closed, you can visually inspect the position of the valve handle or lever. If the handle is parallel to the pipe, the valve is open. If the handle is perpendicular to the pipe, the valve is closed.
Reduce the closing rate on the valve.
after gate valve, because when you want make maintenance for sump pump , you don't want all water in the pipe drop down sump pump - gate valve - non return valve
