Installation at a glance
- Prepare the 3/4" copper or compatible pipe ends according to your press system’s guidelines.
- Align the valve with the pipe run and insert the press sleeve that matches the 3/4" connection size.
- Use the appropriate press tool to crimp the joint securely—verify a complete, uniform crimp before testing for leaks.
- Open the supply and inspect for drips. If any leak is detected, re‑crimp or reseat as needed.
Tips for best results
For longevity and reliable performance, pair this valve with the compatible QuickFitting press fittings and follow standard pressure testing procedures. Maintain clean, dry joints during installation, and avoid overtightening beyond the tool’s recommended crimp specs.
