Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ANSI standards. Shut off the water or steam supply and relieve system pressure before soldering the valve into the line. Allow the valve body to cool fully before operating the handle, as excess heat during soldering can damage internal seals. Keep the valve in the open position while making solder joints to protect the seat and ball from heat damage.
