CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Do not apply direct heat to the valve body. Excessive heat will damage the rubber valve seals and plaster guard, resulting in the potential for leaking. If desired, carefully remove the internal valve components before soldering. Reassemble and securely tighten the internal valve components.
NOTICE: Do not force the handle in any direction. Forcing the handle will damage the valve.
Observe all local plumbing and building codes.
Shut off the main water supply.
Carefully plan the installation before beginning. Carefully read the entire instructions. Component location, spacing, and situational requirements can vary.
Do not discard the plaster guard from the valve until instructed to do so.
