The inlet water must be connected to the inlet port of the
valve. When replacing non-Autotrol valves, the inlet and outlet may be
reversed. It is also possible for the plumbing to be installed in an
opposite order.
Do not solder pipes with lead-based solder.
Do not use tools to tighten plastic fittings. Over time, stress
may break the connections. When the 1265 bypass valve is used, only
hand tighten the nuts.
Do not use petroleum grease on gaskets when connecting
bypass plumbing. Use only 100% silicone grease products when
installing any Autotrol brand valve. Non-silicone grease may cause
plastic components to fail over time.
Several tube adapters are available to connect the valve to
the water plumbing. See Parts List
