Installation & Usage Notes
Shut off system flow and relieve pressure before installing. Align the valve body in the plumbing so ports match your desired flow configuration, cement the slip ends (or thread if applicable), set and adjust the field-adjustable stops for proper handle travel, then restore system flow and check for leaks or misalignment. Ensure correct handle position for chosen flow path.
Maintenance Tips
- Verify the handle and stops move freely without binding. Replace if the diverter seal fails or the valve leaks.
- Inspect annually for oling parts, chemical degradation or handle damage.
- Stock the valve in your parts inventory to quickly replace it during service calls and reduce downtime.
