Installation Guidance

This stop valve is sweat-soldered to 1/2" copper pipe and connected to a 3/8" OD supply line via compression fitting. Use standard plumbing techniques for soldering the inlet and ensure the compression nut is properly tightened to avoid leaks. Installation should comply with applicable local plumbing codes. Allow piping to cool after soldering before assembling compression fittings to avoid damage to washers or seals.
