Setup & Installation

1. Preparation: Verify that all pipe ends are clean, dry, and free of burrs or debris. Confirm that measurements allow for proper insertion depth.

2. Dry Fit: Temporarily assemble the valve and piping to check alignment before applying cement or sealant.

3. Solvent Cement Assembly (Slip Connections):

• Apply an even coat of approved PVC primer to both the pipe and the valve socket.

• Follow immediately with PVC solvent cement, then insert and twist the pipe slightly to distribute adhesive evenly.

• Hold firmly for 20–30 seconds to secure the joint.

4. Threaded Connections: For threaded ends, wrap threads with PTFE tape or apply a compatible thread sealant. Tighten hand-tight, then snug with a wrench — do not overtighten.

5. Curing & Testing: Allow the joint to cure according to cement manufacturer instructions before pressurizing. Slowly fill the system and check all joints for leaks.
