Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before removing any existing fittings or making new connections. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as brass fittings can be damaged by excessive torque.
