COPPER BALL VALVE
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
When a ball valve requires connection to a copper tube, it is important that heat is
applied only after the ball is secured in a half open/half closed position. This will
allow expansion from the heat applied to exit the ball cavity without seat damage.
Apply adequate  ux to both the valve and the tube. Apply the torch  ame to the
copper tube and allow the heat to transfer to the brass valve until the solder  ows.
Do not apply heat from torch directly on the brass valve. Following this method of
installation will prevent excessive heat on the Te on
®
seats that could cause leaks,
damage to the valve and void all warranties.

PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE CHARTS
Lower temperature tolerance on SWT products can be attributed to the solder connection. Solder joint temperature ratings provided
are per ASME B16.18 Annex A for 95-5 Solder. Other solder materials have lower pressure/temperature limits.
