- Before replacing, fully shut off the water supply and drain any residual water to minimize mess.
- Handle alignment and seating should be snug but not over-tightened to avoid stripping threads or damaging the valve stem.
- After installation, slowly turn the water back on and test the shutoff to verify smooth operation and a tight seal.
