SPECIAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION
True Union type ball valves use removable end connectors. To avoid problems,
NEVER ASSEMBLE THE JOINT TO THE END CONNECTORS WHILE THEY
ARE ATTACHED TO THE VALVE CARTRIDGE. STEP 3
Check Valves may be installed in either horizontal or vertical position with a
minimum of 10 pipe diameters from any pump or other source of turbulence.
Check valves MUST be installed with the valve’s “FLOW” arrow pointing in the
direction of flow. U.S. Patent No. 6,899,127 STEP 9

IMPORTANT: Read Precautions & Warnings for all Valve Installations at the
end of these instructions. It is absolutely necessary that all design, installation,
operation & maintenance personnel be trained in proper handling, installation
requirements and precautions for installation and use of plastic piping systems
before starting.
LUBRICATION WARNING: Some Lubricants, including vegetable oils, are
known to cause stress cracking in thermoplastic materials. Formulation
changes by lubricant manufacturers may alter compatibility of previously
acceptable materials and are beyond our control. Lubricants are not required
for installation of Spears® Valves. STEP

liquido. La prueba de presión del sistema no debe ser hecha hasta que todas las juntas
del solvente del cemento han sido curadas correctamente. La prueba de presión inicial se
debe hacer en aproximadamente 10% del grado hidrostático de la presión del sistema
para identificar.
