Faucet Tips From Your McKinney Plumber
¼ Turn Ball Valves
You may notice that after a repair made by a McKinney plumber that your new valve looks different that the one you had before. It is entirely likely that the plumber installed a ¼ turn ball valve instead of your old gate valve. The reasoning is simple: ¼ turn ball valves are (1) easier to use, (2) last longer and (3) are less likely to leak. They can be used for water and gas applications and come in numerous shapes and sizes. If you’re having McKinney plumbing work done, you may want to ask your plumber to install a ¼ turn ball valve if appropriate.
Removing Faucet Valve Cartridges
If you are trying to remove a faucet valve cartridge that is frozen or locked into place, the simplest method to free the cartridge is to soak or spray a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water for an extended period of time. This situation is due to calcium or mineral buildup and the mixture will allow the buildup to break down and loosen.
Valve Stops to Sink Faucets and Toilets
These small, usually chrome, shut off valves under your sinks and toilets have few moving parts and will normally last many years. Over time, they may develop leaks or not shut off properly because of mineral build up or rubber washer deterioration. The frustration with this shut off is they normally don’t leak or fail until you need to shut them off. In some cases, this leak can be cured by simply (but carefully) tightening the stem cap. We recommend each time work is done of a fixture that you consider replacing this valve so that actually does shut off the water when needed.
