OPERATION
The valve handle is marked showing proper rotation direction for “ON” and “OFF” positions. Standard rotation is clockwise for
“OFF” (closed) and counterclockwise for “ON” (open).
MAINTENANCE
Normal stem packing wear can be compensated for by tightening the packing gland nut. The top nut and the lever
may need to be removed for easy access to the packing nut. Tighten the packing nut clockwise in 1/8 turn increments until
observed leakage stops. (Packing wrench part number H371400 is available to ease this operation.) Reinstall the handle
and handle nut after adjustment.
