How to use

Shut off the main water supply before beginning installation. Thread the 1/2" male inlet into the corresponding female supply pipe or fitting using appropriate sealing tape or compound on the threads to prevent leaks. Connect the 3/8" male outlet to the fixture supply hose or connector and tighten to the manufacturer's recommended torque. After installation, open the main water supply and operate the valve to verify smooth shut-off and that there are no leaks at the connections. Periodically check for signs of seepage and tighten fittings if necessary.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible flexible hoses and female fittings sized for 1/2" and 3/8" connections. Avoid overtightening thread connections to prevent damage to the chrome finish and internal seals. For long-term reliability, inspect the valve and surrounding connections during routine maintenance and replace if persistent leaks or corrosion are observed.
