VERIFY OPERATION

The valve should be 

opened

 and 

closed

 several times 

and the packing gland nut or bolts should be checked 
to make sure they are snug and applying a sealing 
force on the packing prior to applying pressure.

All Watson Series ball valves are designed for on / off 
services only.

To operate, turn 

counter-clockwise to open

 and 

clockwise to close

. 

Note:

When cycling the valve 

open

 or 

close

, make sure that the valve is 

fully 

opened

 and 

fully closed

. This wipes debris from the ball and ensures 

optimal performance and long valve life. 

OPEN / CLOSE

CAUTION!

Throttling with ball valves is 

NOT

 recommended. 

Prolonged exposure of a portion of the ball to flow 
can compromise the sealing integrity of the valve. 

THIS WILL AFFECT THE VALVE WARRANTY.

Fully CLOSED position.

Fully OPEN position.

Partially OPEN position  

(not recommended).
