Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and local mechanical code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the supply line fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Use appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid and temperature range. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can damage threads or crack fittings.
