I. INSPECTION 1. Operate all valves, fully opened and closed, before installing to ensure functionality. II. THREADED INSTALLATION PROCEDURES 1. Assure the valve is suitable for service to which it is being applied. Contact NIBCO Technical Services with any concerns or questions: (888) 446-4226. 2. To ensure proper installation, standard piping practices should be followed. 3. NIBCO 2-piece ball valves are bi-directional service valves and can be installed in any orientation, vertically or horizontally. 4.

INSTALLATION, OPERATION & MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS Review Date: 11/26/18 Original Date: 2/16/88 1. To ensure proper installation, standard piping practices should be followed, including ASTM B828. 2. Clean and flux the surfaces to be soldered. 3. Close the valve. This does two things – it gets the handle out of the way and protects the PTFE seats from cold-flowing during heating by trapping them against the ball. 4. Wrap a wet rag around valve body. 5.

2. Packing adjustments, when necessary, should be made in 1/8 turn increments, and only as much as needed to stop a stem leak. 3. There are no field repairable or replaceable components within the pressure vessel of a NIBCO 2-piece ball valve. WARNING: Under no circumstances should these ball valves be disassembled for any reason, including to attempt internal repairs. * Weighted average lead content ≤ 0.25% CAUTION: Only qualified personnel should undertake the procedures outlined in this document.
