What Are the Different Types of Water Valves?
Water valves allow the flow of water to be shut off at one or more points throughout the plumbing system. While some valves only control the flow of water, other valves also control the temperature of that water. The most common problem with water valves is water leaks. Leaks typically occur when the washers and seals within the valves’ assembly crack or distort. Before a repair can be performed, it is imperative to first identify the types of valves.
