Is there a standard direction to turn a toilette shutoff valve for a toilette?
Question:is it standardized? clockwise or counterclockwise?
Answers:
The standard is usually, left to open; right to close. Just like the water spickets on the outside of your house. If you have an oval knob on the water line the length of the oval should be perpendicular to the water line when it is off. Some times shut off valves do wear out, and you have to replace them; in order to do that you'll have to shut off the main water valve and install a new knob.
right- tighty, lefty- loosey!
i dont know but if you asked about a "toilet" i might know
the guys right righty-tighty lefty-loosey
normally yes, righty tighty lefty loosey.
but in the house I live in, for some weird reason, all the faucets and knobs turn backwards. try it, if it doesnt work, turn the other way.
clockwise.always clockwise
if you crought down and you're facing the snob, turn it to the right. If you look closely at the snob you will notice that it may be fully extended(the snob shaft is all the way out), when you turn it to the right, it(the shaft) will start to go inside, thus closing/blocking the patch and shutting the water off..i would recommend having a small bucket undeneath just in case the plumming leaks. Also, if you can, locate the main water shutt off valve before doing anything, in case of emergeny you would know how to shut all the water off. good luck.
In french or English it's the same righty tighty and lefty loosy.
