FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Q: What kits are available for this valve?
A: Seal kits are available for the MS75 (Part# MS-K) and for the MS16SAE (Part #: LMS-K)

Q: Can I paint the valve?
A: Painting valves is acceptable as long as the following precautions are taken:

1- All ports must be plugged
2- Spool must be masked or taped off completely.
Any paint on the spool will cause leakage when it chips off. Warranty is void if any valve is returned with paint on
the spool.

GENERAL INFORMATION:

Pipe Thread Sealant - Warranty is void when Teflon tape is used to seal pipe threads. This is because Teflon tape is a

friction reducing agent which allows customers to over-torque fittings. We recommend using a sealant that does not include
friction reducing agents i.e. Lead Plate.
