Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC).

Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to all male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack the fitting or damage threads.
