Proper pipe support is required on both sides of the valve to prevent stress on the socket joints; additionally, always ensure the valve is in the open position during the curing process to prevent excess cement from bonding to the internal ball. Always follow local plumbing codes regarding the use of PVC valves in main line versus lateral line configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lesso","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52079566520609,"sku":"400--025S","price":29.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/8458\/3969\/files\/redvalve.png?v=1766428152","url":"https:\/\/asiwsupply.com\/products\/2-12-25-inch-schedule-40-pvc-socket-ball-valve-valve-usa-inc","provider":"ASIW","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
