To install the mounting collar, transfer, drill and tap two 5/16-18UNC holes into the Z-axis 
faceplate.   

NOTE

:  For proper alignment, the mounting holes must be 1.625 in. (41.275 mm) from center 

of holes apart.  See illustration (above).

With the 

adapter

 and 

seat

 removed from the valve body, slide the valve body down into the 

collar and align the high-pressure water inlet hole with the collar.
