1/2″ Water Heater Mix Valve Installation

Figuring out the root cause of water heater issues is difficult if you don’t have professional help. A licensed plumber can conduct some tests to figure out the problem before suggesting repairs or possible installations. While a professional is needed to determine if you need hot water tank mixing valve replacement, here are some telltale signs that you could have a water heater valve issue that needs tending to immediately:

• Water is too steamy or too frigid – The valve might be malfunctioning if the water is excessively hot or cold. When functioning properly, the valve mixes hot and cold water so you obtain the right temperature from your bathroom faucets. Retain the services of a licensed plumber if there are valve issues so the problems get resolved.
• Leaks and water damage around the valve – Leaks and water damage around the valve must be addressed right away. Mixing hot and cold water can exert a lot of pressure on the valves and pipes. They should be replaced immediately if they’re damaged or malfunctioning.

The valve has disintegrated – Plumbing fixtures and components have best-before dates. After being exposed to different temperatures, pressures, and more, valves will eventually need to be replaced. When your valve starts disintegrating, it’s time to explore water heater mixing valve replacement in Toronto. Hire a certified plumber to change the fitting.
