Eines necessàries:

• Adjustable wrench or basin clau anglesa
• Pipe cutter (if cutting new supply lines)
• Teflon tape (optional, for threaded connections if applicable)
• Bucket and towels (for catching drips)

Passos d'instal·lació:

1. Tanqueu el subministrament d'aigua: Locate the main water shut-off valve for your home or the specific area where you are working and turn it off. Open a nearby faucet to relieve pressure and drain any remaining water from the lines.
2. Prepare the Inlet Pipe: Ensure the existing pipe (typically 5/8" OD) is clean, smooth, and free of burrs. If replacing an old valve, remove it and clean the pipe end.
3. Install Compression Nut and Ferrule: Slide the compression nut (included with the valve) onto the pipe, followed by the compression ferrule (ring). Ensure the ferrule is oriented correctly.
4. Attach the Supply Stop: Insert the pipe end with the nut and ferrule into the inlet of the PROFLO PFXSC32C supply stop. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the valve body.
5. Estreny la connexió: Using an adjustable wrench, carefully tighten the compression nut. Turn it about 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn past hand-tight. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the ferrule or valve.
6. Connect Fixture Supply Line: Attach the 3/8" supply line from your faucet or toilet to the outlet of the supply stop. Hand-tighten the nut, then use a wrench to tighten it an additional 1/4 to 1/2 turn.
7. Restablir el subministrament d'aigua i comprovar si hi ha fuites: Slowly turn the main water supply back on. Check all connections for leaks. If a leak occurs, tighten the connection slightly until the leak stops.

• Neteja del colador: If water flow to the fixture becomes restricted, the integrated strainer may be clogged. To clean, turn off the water supply at the supply stop, disconnect the fixture supply line, and carefully remove the strainer screen. Rinse it under running water to remove debris, then reassemble.
• Comprovació de fuites: Periodically inspect the connections for any signs of leaks. Tighten connections slightly if necessary.
