Panel Mounting Instructions

®
Needle Valves may be easily mounted to panel or bracket ranging from 3/16" to 1/2" in thickness using the
accompanying template. Prepare mounting hole to panel opening dimensions. Slots may be cut in various positions to allow
more versatile orientation. Open valve partially. Remove Bonnet Cap with needle assembly (do not fully disassemble) and
Panel Nut from valve body. Insert valve body through mounting hole and seat lugs. Reinstall Panel Nut and tighten snug.
Carefully reinstall Bonnet Cap and needle assembly, tighten snug. Caution: Failure to partially open the valve or back the
needle off prior to re-assembly may damage needle when tightening Bonnet Cap.
