3 Use two wrenches. Secure one wrench on the
hex pads nearest the joint being tightened
while using the second wrench to screw in the
threaded end, thereby preventing the
retainer–to–body seal from being broken
Caution: Do not over-tighten the pipe, which
may cause stripped threads.
1 Apply pipe sealant sparingly to all but the end
two threads of a properly threaded, reamed,
and cleaned pipe. 2-way valves must be piped
with an inlet and an outlet. 3-way mixing valves
must be piped with two inlets and one outlet.
Caution: Make sure the pipe chips, scale, etc.
do not get into the pipe since this material may
lodge in the valve seat and prevent proper
closing and opening of the valve.
2 Start the joint by hand-threading
the pipe into the valve. If the
thread engagement feels normal,
continue to turn the pipe by hand
as far as it will go.
5 Insulate both the valve and the linkage.
Caution: Do not insulate the actuator.
Doing so may result in excess heat
buildup or condensation within the
actuator.
4 Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 for
the remaining connection(s).
6 In chilled or cold water systems where
the environment is humid, use a drip pan
under the valve to catch condensate.
7 Wire the actuator, referring to the
appropriate actuator General
