INSTALLATION

1.Operate valve before installing. This verifies functionality.

2.Threaded Valves: Check connecting pipe threads for accuracy. Make sure the pipe threads are free of foreign materials such as scale or metal shavings.

Soldered End Valves: See Installation Bulletin on Page 2.

3.To ensure proper installation, standard piping practices should be followed.

4.The NIBCO two-piece ball valve is a bi-directional valve.

MAINTENANCE

1.General maintenance should consist of operating the valve periodically to ensure that it is functioning properly.

2.Routine maintenance consists of tightening the packing to compensate for wear. When leakage occurs, the packing gland follower (under handle) should be tightened in 1/8 to 1/4 turn increments just enough to stop leakage. This can be done with a thin openended wrench or a special packing adjustment wrench that can be purchased from NIBCO (Part No. T067474 ASBLY).
