GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:

•

Be sure stub out and riser are square, round and free of burrs.

•

Overtightening can cause product to crack and fail over time. See more detailed

instructions below:

COPPER COMPRESSION INLET

Be sure to shut off water before starting.

For use with type L or M copper only.

1. Place compression nut and sleeve onto the copper tube.

2. A drop of general purpose oil will make tightening easier.

3. If using a drop of oil or thread sealant be sure the threads are clean of any debris and

that sealant is also free of any metal debris. DO NOT USE a putty, gasket material or

thread seal tape.

4. If using a thread sealant, apply a thin even coat to the male compression threads

only taking care not to get thread sealant on the compression ring or sealing

surface. Warning: Excessive thread sealant may cause joint to fail.

5. Hand tighten the compression nut onto the stop as far as it will allow.

6. Using hand tools, tighten 3/4 turn from the hand tight position. Note: Make sure that

the stop remains seated and square to the copper tube. If the stop is not square to

the copper tube, this could affect the ability to get a good connection.

Tools Needed for Installation: • Wrench • Tube Cutter

IRON PIPE CONNECTION (FIP/MIP)

Be sure to shut off water before starting.

1. Apply thread sealant to pipe nipple. Thread valve onto pipe. Wrench tighten.

Make

sure outlet is positioned correctly.

Tools Needed for Installation: • Thread sealant • Wrench

SWEAT INLET

Be sure to shut off water before starting.

NOTE: Remove complete stem assembly by loosening bonnet nut and unthreading

handle to prevent heat damage to washers. Reassemble after installation is complete.

1. Clean outside of copper stub out and inside of tting/stop with emery cloth

or steel wool and remove all loose particles.

2. Coat outside of copper stub out and inside of tting/stop with ux.

Push tting/valve over stub out and rotate to distribute ux evenly.

3. Apply heat to all sides, checking temperature occasionally by touching end

of solder to surface (not to ame). When solder liquees, temperature is correct.

Feed solder around edge of tting/stop as heat is applied.

4. While stub out is still hot, carefully wipe valve with damp rag to leave an

attractive chrome-like nish. Avoid moving tting/valve until solder hardens.

Tools Needed for Installation: • Emery cloth or steel wool • Flux • Solder • Wrench • Damp rag

CPVC INLET

Be sure to shut off water before starting.

CAUTION: USE ONLY CPVC CEMENT OR AN ALL-PURPOSE CEMENT

CONFORMING TO ASTM F-493 OR JOINT FAILURE MAY RESULT.

CAUTION:

ASSEMBLE VALVE ACCORDING TO SOLVENT WELD MANUFACTURER’S

INSTRUCTIONS.

1. Cut pipe squarely and remove all inside and outside burrs.

2. Follow solvent weld manufacturer’s instructions.

CAUTION: TOO MUCH CEMENT CAN CLOG WATERWAYS AND WEAKEN INSERT

IN FITTING OR STOP.

Tools Needed for Installation: • CPVC Cleaner/Primer (or ne sandpaper)

• CPVC Cement • Wrench

BARBED PEX INLET

Be sure to shut off water before starting.

For use with ASTM F876 / F877 / F1807 PEX only

CAUTION: ASSEMBLE STOP ACCORDING TO CRIMP TOOL MANUFACTURER’S

1. Cut PEX tube so the end is square and round.

2. Slide crimp ring over PEX tube.

3. Insert valve barb inlet into PEX tube completely until tube stops at valve body.

4. Position crimp ring over barb area and follow crimp tool manufacturer’s instructions

to secure.

Tools Needed for Installation: • Tube Cutter • Crimp Tool • PEX Crimp Gauge

stop barb inlet.

4. For riser tube installation, see that section.

Tools Needed for Installation: • Tube Cutter • Expansion Tool

PUSH CONNECT INLET

Be sure to shut off water before starting.

For use with Copper, PEX and CPVC

For use with water in exposed locations only.

INSTALLATION

Cut Copper, PEX or CPVC tube square, round and free of burrs. Over time, if burrs are

not removed, connection may leak.

Make sure stub out length extends a minimum of 2 1/2 in. from wall to

accommodate valve and escutcheon.

Mark tube 1 in. from end. Push stop onto tube until marking on tube is reached.

Tube Insert will self-align in tubing.

Tools Needed for Installation: • Tube Cutter • Marker • Measuring Tape

CAUTION:

• FAILURE TO PUSH STOP TO MARK MAY RESULT IN A LEAK.

• DO NOT USE ANY PLUMBER’S PUTTY, PIPE THREAD TAPE, OR OTHER SEALANT TO
