B Connect the second solenoid wire to a power
wire (usually colored).
BODY
Before Installation
llInstall master valves, pressure regulators and back-
flow preventers as needed.
llA pressure regulator is required if water pressure
1
exceeds 150 PSI (recommended over 80 PSI).
llInline valves require a separate backflow preventer
in the main line. Check local building codes. 2
llFlush the system thoroughly until water runs clear.
llShut off the main water supply.
Connect Valve to Pipes
A Apply PTFE thread-seal tape to the male threads
on the adapters, screw into the valve and
hand-tighten (do not use PVC glue or pipe dope
on adapter threads).
B Apply primer and then PVC cement to the ends
of the pipe and inside the adapters per manu-
facturer’s instructions.
