Step 3: Reassemble the Valve – Put the valve body back together and add the other components one by one, making sure everything is securely fastened and there are no leaks or issues.
Step 4: Test the Valve – Turn on the valve and let water flow through it, checking for any leaks or issues and ensuring the valve is operating smoothly.
