Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To install, ensure the valve is oriented correctly in your pipe or hose run. Securely attach your hose or pipe to each brass hosetail using appropriate clamps or fittings to ensure a leak-proof seal. The lever should be positioned for easy access to operate. Verify that the pipe's internal diameter matches the valve's hosetail size (1/2", 3/4", or 1").
Compatibility: This valve is compatible with a broad range of media including water, petrol, diesel, oil, gas, and air. Always confirm that the specific fluid or gas being used is compatible with nickel-plated brass at the operating temperature and pressure.
Care: Periodically inspect the valve and connections for any signs of wear, corrosion, or leaks. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the nickel plating. Ensure the lever mechanism moves freely; if stiff, a small amount of lubricant might be applied to the pivot point.
