Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians following applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC or local amendments. Shut off the water supply and fully drain the line before soldering to prevent steam pressure from forming inside the pipe. Use the appropriate flux for lead-free solder and apply heat evenly to the fitting rather than directly to the solder. Allow joints to cool naturally before restoring flow or pressure-testing the system.
