Is the water valve open or closed clockwise?

Pacific Auto Network is generally closed clockwise and opened counterclockwise. Except for special requirements, all valves are closed clockwise and opened counterclockwise, whether it is faucet or water valve, round or with handle, except for double opening, most of them are like this.

The design of closing the valve clockwise is more convenient. Generally speaking, the switch rotates to the right to close the valve. In the fluid piping system, the valve is the control element, and its main function is to isolate the equipment from the piping system, adjust the flow, prevent backflow, and adjust and discharge the pressure.

It can be used to control the flow of various types of fluids, such as air, water, steam, corrosive media, mud, oil, liquid metal and radioactive media. Because it is very important to choose the most suitable valve for pipeline system, it is very important to understand the characteristics of the valve and the steps and basis for selecting the valve. The final control of the pipeline is the valve.

The opening and closing parts of the valve control the flow mode of the medium in the pipeline, and the shape of the valve channel makes the valve have certain flow characteristics, which must be taken into account when selecting the valve that is most suitable for installation in the pipeline system.
