Installation Notes
When installing slip-style valves, ensure that pipes are properly deburred and a high-quality PVC primer and heavy-bodied cement are used for a permanent bond. Allow for adequate cure time as specified by the solvent manufacturer before pressurizing the mainline. It is recommended to install the valve with a minimum of 10 inches of straight pipe upstream to ensure stable flow and to follow all local plumbing codes regarding backflow prevention and burial depth.
