Installation Information
Ensure that mating threads are clean and compatible before installation. Use a suitable thread sealing material where required and avoid overtightening, as excessive force can damage PVC threaded connections.
PVC-U valves should not be used in applications exceeding the manufacturer's specified pressure or temperature limits. Always verify the valve's pressure rating and suitability for the intended operating conditions.
