Installation Instructions:

1. Cut & Prepare Pipework: Ensure both ends of the copper pipe are clean, round, and free of burrs.

2. Slide on Compression Nuts & Rings: Fit the compression nut and olive (ring) onto each end of the pipe.

3. Insert Valve: Position the valve between the two pipe ends.

4. Tighten Fittings: Hand-tighten the nuts, then use an appropriate spanner to securely tighten without over-torquing.

5. Test System: Turn on the water supply gradually and check for leaks. Operate the isolating valve to confirm full functionality.

Tip: Use PTFE tape if necessary on the threads (though not typically needed for compression joints).

Care & Maintenance:

• Operate Periodically: Turn the valve occasionally to prevent seizing over time

• Inspect for Leaks: Check during regular maintenance cycles, especially after long periods of inactivity

• Avoid Over-Tightening: Can damage the compression joint or distort the fitting

• Keep Valve Accessible: Install in an easily reachable location for quick shut-off in emergencies
