The lead-free construction meets requirements for potable water service in compliance with applicable safe drinking water standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up connections.
