Step 1
Before installing the Add-A-Valve®, clean the copper tubing with a
fine emery cloth until the copper tubing has a bright, shiny finish.
Step 2
Disassemble the Add-A-Valve® body by removing the four (4) 316
stainless steel bolts.
Apply the gasket sealant to both body halves and allow 1-2
minutes for dry time.
Step 3
Apply a liberal amount of the provided gasket sealant (Loctite
®
518)
and brush evenly across the entire body half surface.
CAUTION
Pipe hanger supports should be installed on
both
sides of the Add-A-Valve® to
eliminate stress at the ends of the valve. If hangers cannot be installed, it is NOT
recommended to use the Add-A-Valve®.
