Question: Why is my angle valve leaking after installation?
Saniware Angle Valves
Answer: Leaks are most commonly caused by an improper seal on the thread. Always use a generous amount of PTFE (Thread Seal) Tape on the male threads before screwing the valve into the wall outlet. Additionally, ensure the valve is tightened firmly but not overtightened, which can crack the wall fitting. If the leak persists, the internal washer might be worn out, and a replacement valve is recommended.
