• DO NOT install if water pressure exceeds 125 psi (862
kPa). If your water pressure exceeds 80 psi (552 kPa),
you must install a pressure limiting valve. Contact a
plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to check
your water pressure.
• DO NOT install where water hammer conditions may
occur. If water hammer conditions exist you must
install a water hammer arrester. Contact a plumbing
professional if you are uncertain how to check for
this condition.
• Where a backflow prevention device is installed on a
water system, a device for controlling pressure due
to thermal expansion MUST be installed. Contact
a plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to
