Installing a lever handle ball valve is a fairly simple process that requires basic knowledge of plumbing and the right tools. A ball valve is a type of valve that uses a ball to control the flow of fluid through a pipe. Lever handle ball valves are particularly useful because they allow for quick and easy control of fluid flow with a simple lever. In this article, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of how to install a lever handle ball valve.

Lever handle ball valve
Step 1: Turn off the water supply
The first step in installing a lever handle ball valve is to turn off the water supply. This will prevent any water from flowing through the pipes while you are installing the valve.
Step 2: Cut the pipe
Once you have turned off the water supply, you will need to cut the pipe where you want to install the valve.
Step 3: Clean the pipe
After cutting the pipe, use a pipe cleaner to remove any burrs or rough edges around the cut. This will ensure that the pipe is clean and smooth, which will make it easier to install the valve.
Step 4: Apply Teflon tape
This will create a tight seal when the valve is screwed onto the pipe.
Step 5: Apply pipe joint compound
This will also help create a tight seal when the valve is installed.
Step 6: Install the valve
Screw the lever handle ball valve onto the pipe. Make sure that the valve is oriented in the correct direction, so that the flow of fluid is in the direction you want it to be.
Step 7: Turn on the water supply
Once the valve is installed, turn on the water supply and check for leaks. If there are any leaks, tighten the valve further or apply more Teflon tape to the threads.
