  Installation location

 

 

The Smart Water Valve must be installed:

•   In a dry, indoor location.

•   Downstream from the main shut-off valve on the 

desired water supply line.

•   With the control unit located above the valve. 

Use drip loops wherever possible to avoid 

damaging the electronics in the event of a leak.

•   In compliance with all local plumbing and 

electrical codes.

•   Within 20 feet of a wall outlet.

•  Easily visible and accessible to the end user.

 

 Water shutoff valves and leak detection devices 
should never be installed on a fire 
suppression system.

 Installation

 

 

Installing the Smart Water Valve

1.   Shut off the water supply line and drain 

the system.

2.    Install the valve in the desired water supply 

line using appropriate fittings. See “Installation 

Location” for more information on choosing 

a location.

3.   After installing the valve, turn the water supply 

on and ensure there are no leaks originating from 

the valve or connections to the valve.

❹ 

 Use a wrench or actuator to move the valve 

stem so that it is parallel to the valve. Line up 

the posts on the actuator with the holes on 

the valve. Connect the actuator to the valve by 

pressing on the actuator until it snaps into place.

5.   Connect the actuator to the control unit using 

the attached cable. The connector is keyed to 

ensure proper alignment.

6.   Mount the control unit to the wall using the 

supplied wall bracket and anchors.

7.   Connect the power supply to the locking 

barrel connector on the control unit. 

Turn counterclockwise to lock.

8.   Plug the power supply 

into the nearest 

wall outlet. Verify power 

by checking if the LEDs 

are illuminated.

 

 

Testing the Smart Water Valve

1.   Open a tap or faucet downstream of the Smart 

Water Valve.

2.   Press the close button and wait for the Smart 

Water Valve closed light to turn solid. Check that 

the valve has closed by verifying that no water is 

flowing from the open fixture.

3.   Press the open button and wait for the valve 

open light to turn solid. Check that the valve has 

opened by verifying that water is flowing from 

the open fixture.

4.  Close the open tap or faucet.

5.   Add the Smart Water Valve to the 

Z-Wave network.

 

 

Adding the Smart Water Valve to the  

 

Z-Wave network

 

 For best results, we recommend bringing the 
Z-Wave controller into the area where the Smart 
Water Valve is installed.

1.   Put the Z-Wave controller into add mode. 

Refer to controller guide for more information.

2.   Press  the  networking 

 button on the side  

of the Smart Water Valve control unit to begin 

the add process. The network light on the control 

unit will begin flashing.

3.   After the Smart Water Valve is successfully 

added, the network light on the Smart Water 

Valve will turn solid. If the network light is not 

illuminated after the add process, repeat 

Steps 1 and 2.
