Practical tips for install and care
Before you start, locate the shutoff valves and relieve any remaining water pressure. When installing, ensure you align the valve with the existing inlet/outlet threads and seals to preserve a tight fit. After installation, slowly turn the water back on and check for leaks at all connections. If you notice any seepage, reseal the joints and retorque to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Regular inspection of the diverter area can help catch wear before it becomes a larger issue.
