The valve will also need to reach an AC power source. It is recommended
that the valve is kept operating on AC power (cord provided), with
batteries used as a back-up power source.
IMPORTANT: The valve must be installed after the water main manual shut-off and
water meter. It is recommended that the valve be installed at least 8 inches away from
water shut-off to avoid damage. Additional fittings may be required.
• Do not solder fittings near the water meter or smart valve to avoid heat
affecting the devices.
• Position the valve so that the arrow on the side points away from
the water meter.
Note: The valve can be installed vertically or horizontally, do not install
upside down.
Once installed, close the faucet, turn on the main water valve and check for leaks.
Reattach the valve cover by sliding it over the motor housing, with the front facing you.
Caution: When first opening the valve, air remaining in your plumbing
lines from cutting in the valve will rapidly vent out of the open faucet, this may create
water hammer effect on first time use. Once air has escaped, your system will go back to
mormal pressures.
Attach the AC power cord adapter to the valve cover and plug into the nearest 110 volt
outlet.
• Using an extension cord is not recommended — please use the
18 ft. AC power adapter cord in this package.
• An optional 9 ft. AC power adapter extension wire is also available.
