I.INSPECTION

1.Operate all valves, fully opened and closed, before installing to ensure functionality.

II.THREADED INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

1.Assure the valve is suitable for service to which it is being applied. Contact NIBCO Technical Services with any concerns or questions: (888) 446-4226.

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

3.NIBCO 2-piece ball valves are bi-directional service valves and can be installed in any orientation, vertically or horizontally.

4.Check connecting pipe threads are free of foreign materials such as scale or metal shavings, as well as in proper and functioning form.

5.Apply 2-3 wraps of PTFE tape, covering the lower ¾ of the male thread length in a clockwise direction as viewed from the threaded end of the male pipe.

WARNING: NIBCO does not recommend applying pipe compound on threaded joints, and under no circumstance should both PTFE tape and pipe compound be applied to any threaded joint.

6.Hand tighten pipe into valve.

7.Use a flat-jawed wrench (adjustable) to engage the flats of the valve on the same end as the pipe being installed. If a pipe wrench is used, it must be applied only to the pipe, not the valve.

8.Do not apply excessive torque to assemble the joint. As a rule of thumb, tighten

(2) turns past hand tight.

9.Do not allow the body to end-piece manufactured joint to be disturbed. Either tightening or loosening this joint will disrupt the factory thread seal, which may result in leaks.

10.Follow all other applicable and appropriate code requirements.

III. SOLDERING INSTALLATION PROCEDURES – LEADED BRONZE & LEADED BRASS/LEAD-FREE* BRASS* BALL VALVES**

NOTE: NIBCO ball valves can be soft soldered into lines using a low temperature solder such as

95/5 tin antimony solder which melts at 452° - 464°F. For all lead-free solders which melt in this temperature range, extreme care must be used to prevent seat damage since temperatures above 500°F will affect the seat materials.

**For instructions on soldering NIBCO lead-free* Performance Bronze™ alloys see the latest edition of NIBCO Technical Bulletin NTB-0910 (www.nibco.com) or contact NIBCO Technical Services: (888) 446-4226
