Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician. Shut off the water or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before removing or replacing compression fittings. Hand-tighten the nut onto the fitting body before applying tool torque to avoid cross-threading the brass threads. Verify all connections are leak-free under pressure before returning the system to service.
