Installation precautions

CAUTION:
• The valve can be damaged if improper sweating (soldering) is used with the union

connection. Before sweating the union connection to the valve, remove the union nut
and O-ring from the valve body, then sweat the union tailpiece with union nut into place.

• Make sure that all connecting pipe work is water tight.

NOTICE:

• The valve body may be damaged if you overtighten when using PTFE pipe compound

or PTFE tape on pipe threads.

• Avoid damaging the valve operating mechanism by using too much joint compound.

Apply compound sparingly to male threads only.

1. Apply pipe compound conservatively to male connecting fittings only.

NOTICE:
Do not overtighten when using Teflon

®
