To install the valve, ensure the water supply is completely shut off at the main source. Apply appropriate thread sealant or plumbing tape to the 1/2 inch outer thread before screwing the valve into the wall connection. Tighten securely using a suitable wrench, ensuring not to overtighten to avoid damaging the threads. Once installed, connect the 3/8 inch supply line to the outlet and slowly turn on the water to check for any leaks at the connection points.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the thread size of your existing wall outlet
• Ensure the 3/8 inch outlet matches your fixture supply hose
• Check that the installation space allows for a 90-degree turn

Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the valve for signs of mineral buildup or leaks. It is recommended to turn the valve handle periodically to ensure the internal mechanism remains free and operational over time.
