WARNING
!
Following installation, the valve lever MUST be operated AT 
LEAST ONCE A YEAR to ensure that the water-ways are clear. 
Certain naturally occurring mineral deposits may adhere to the valve, 
rendering it inoperative. When manually operating the lever, water 
will discharge and precautions must be taken to avoid contact with 
hot water and to avoid water damage. BEFORE operating lever, 
check to see that a discharge line is connected to this valve directing 
the flow of hot water from the valve to a proper place of disposal 
otherwise personal injury may result. If no water flows, valve is inoperative. CALL A PLUMBER IMMEDIATELY. 
This device is designed for emergency safety relief and shall not be 
used as an operating control.
