WAR NING
CAUT ION
CAUTION
!
Excessive use of pipe joint compound when installing air vent will foul
the vent’s operating mechanism allowing water to escape. Pipe joint
compound must be conservatively applied to male threads only. Failure
to follow this instruction can result in personal injury from hot water
and/or property damage.
! CAUTION
When the vent discharges air or if foreign material from the system
fouls the vent’s operating mechanism, it is possible for water to also be
discharged. Vent must be piped to a drain. Failure to follow this instruc-
tion can result in personal injury from hot water and/or property damage.
! CAUTION
The use of PTFE impregnated pipe compound and PTFE tape on pipe
threads provide lubricity which can lead to overtightening and breakage.
Do not overtighten. Failure to follow this instruction can result in
personal injury from hot water and/or property damage.
