Step 5 · Install Angle Stop (Valve) Covers

Next, install the covers for the hot and cold water angle stops. These covers are typically molded into a bulbous or box-like shape to fit over the valve body and handle. Like the P-trap cover, they are usually hinged or two-piece. Snap one cover over the hot water valve (left side) and the other over the cold water valve (right side). Ensure they close completely and are securely fastened. The design should fully encapsulate the valve to prevent any accidental contact.
