Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or compound rated for the intended service to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as red brass fittings can crack under excessive torque.
