Before Installation

Install master valves, pressure regulators and back-
ow preventers as needed.

A pressure regulator is required if water pressure
exceeds 150 PSI (recommended over 80 PSI).

Inline valves require a separate backow preventer
in the main line. Check local building codes.

Flush the system thoroughly until water runs clear.

Shut o the main water supply.
Connect Valve to Pipes
A
Apply PTFE thread-seal tape to the male threads
on the adapters, screw into the valve and
hand-tighten (do not use PVC glue or pipe dope
on adapter threads).
B
Apply primer and then PVC cement to the ends
of the pipe and inside the adapters per manu-
facturer’s instructions.
C
Ensure the valve arrows face in the direction of
water ow, and push valve onto inlet and outlet
pipes until secure. Follow PVC cement instruc-
tions for cure time.
