Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

The shut-off valve is designed for simple operation:

• To Open (Water Flow ON): Turn the lever handle so it is parallel with the direction of the water flow.
• To Close (Water Flow OFF): Turn the lever handle so it is perpendicular to the direction of the water flow.

Always turn the handle completely to ensure the valve is fully open or closed.

Manutenzjoni

The SharkBite Anderson Shut-Off Valve requires minimal maintenance:

• Periodically inspect the valve and connections for any signs of leaks or corrosion.
• Keep the valve clean and free from debris.
• If the valve becomes stiff, operate it a few times to loosen any mineral deposits. Do not use lubricants that are not approved for potable water systems.

Issolvi l-problemi

• Leak at Push-to-Connect Joint:
  • Ensure the pipe is cut squarely and free of burrs.
  • Verify the pipe is inserted fully into the fitting to the correct depth.
  • Check if the pipe is damaged or out of round.
• Leak at Threaded Connection:
  • Ensure the connection is tightened appropriately (hand-tight plus 1/4 to 1/2 turn with a wrench).
  • Check for damage to the threads or the sealing washer.
• Valve Not Shutting Off Completely:
  • Ensure the lever handle is turned completely to the closed position (perpendicular to flow).
  • Mineral deposits may be preventing full closure. Operating the valve several times may help.
