Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC standards. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten — hand-snug plus a controlled turn with a pipe wrench is standard practice for brass fittings to avoid cracking.
