4. Installation

This section outlines the steps for replacing an existing appliance valve with the SUPPLYZ 838456. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified professional.

Required Tools (Not Included):

• Adjustable wrench or appropriate size spanner
• Towel or absorbent cloth
• Bucket or tray to catch water
• Thread sealant tape (PTFE tape) if applicable

Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Appliance:
   • Locate the appliance connected to the valve.
   • Turn off the main water supply to the appliance or the entire house.
   • Disconnect the appliance from its power source (unplug or turn off circuit breaker).
   • Relieve any residual water pressure by opening a faucet or operating the appliance briefly if safe to do so.
2. Remove the Old Valve:
   • Place a bucket or towels beneath the valve to catch any water.
   • Carefully disconnect the water lines from both ends of the old valve using an adjustable wrench.
   • Remove the old valve from its mounting location.
3. Install the New SUPPLYZ 838456 Valve:
   • Ensure the threads on the new valve and the water lines are clean.
   • Apply thread sealant tape (PTFE tape) to the male threads of the valve connections, wrapping it clockwise 2-3 times.
   • Connect the water lines to the new SUPPLYZ 838456 valve. Hand-tighten first, then use an adjustable wrench to tighten securely. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the threads or the valve.
   • Ensure the valve is oriented correctly according to the water flow direction (if indicated on the valve body).
4. Test for Leaks:
   • Slowly turn the main water supply back on.
   • Carefully inspect all connections around the newly installed valve for any signs of leaks.
   • If leaks are detected, turn off the water supply, tighten the connections slightly, and re-check. Repeat until no leaks are present.
5. Restore Power:
   • Once satisfied that there are no leaks, reconnect the appliance to its power source.
   • The appliance is now ready for use.

5. Operation

The SUPPLYZ 838456 Inline Appliance Valve operates passively as a component within your appliance's water supply system. Once correctly installed and the water supply is restored, the valve functions automatically to regulate water flow as required by the appliance. There are no user-adjustable settings on this valve.

Regularly check the area around the valve for any signs of moisture or leaks, especially after initial installation and during routine appliance checks.

6. Maintenance

The SUPPLYZ 838456 Inline Appliance Valve is designed for minimal maintenance. However, periodic inspection can help ensure its longevity and prevent potential issues.

• Visual Inspection: Periodically check the valve and its connections for any visible signs of wear, corrosion, or leaks.
• Cleaning: If necessary, gently wipe the exterior of the valve with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Leak Check: If you suspect a leak, follow the "Test for Leaks" procedure outlined in the Installation section.

If the valve shows signs of significant wear, damage, or persistent leaking, it should be replaced.
