Installation of the Apollo® Thermal-Seal™ thermal insulating
tee-handle is simple and can be accomplished without any
specialized tools.

Warning: Do not attempt to work on any valve under
pressure. De-pressurize the piping system before any work
begins. Use appropriate protective gear as required to protect
against possible burns or uncontrolled release of fluids.

Step 1: Remove any existing handle or other operating
mechanism and set aside.
Step 2: Install the stop plate, item 2, as shown in figures 1 and

2.
Step 3: Place the plastic sleeve, item 5, over the molded tee­handle, item 1. See figure 2.
Step 4: Place the molded handle and sleeve over the stop
plate as shown. Make certain the stop plate and tee-handle
are properly aligned.
Step 5: Position the cup washer, item 3, and handle nut, item
4, as shown. Tighten the handle nut to the torque shown in
table 1. An appropriately sized deep well socket and torque
wrench will be required to complete this step.
