FLUSHING INSTRUCTIONS

DISASSEMBLY

Faucets made of leaded brass alloys may contribute small amounts of lead to water that is allowed to stand in contact with the brass.  The amount of lead contributed by any faucet is highest when
the faucet is new. The following steps may reduce potential exposure to lead from faucets and other parts of the plumbing system:

Always run the water for a few seconds prior to use for drinking or cooking  

•   Use only cold water for drinking or cooking  
•   If you wish to flush the entire plumbing system of water that has been standing in the pipes or other fittings, run the cold water until the temperature of the water drops, indicating water coming

from the outside main  

•   If you are concerned about lead in your water, have your water tested by a certified laboratory in your area
