How to Install the DBV-1/4 Stainless Steel Ball Valve
This guide provides instructions for installing the DBV-1/4 1/4" Stainless Steel Ball Valve, designed for use with a Stainless Steel Drain (FG-DA-3/8) to control drainage. WARNING: Risk of shock, disconnect power before installation of associated electrical components.
Estimated time: 15m
Tools needed:
Wrench
Supplies needed:
Thread sealant, Stainless Steel Drain (FG-DA-3/8), Junction Box
- Install the Stainless Steel Drain
Install the Stainless Steel Drain (FG-DA-3/8) to the Junction Box according to the instructions provided with the Stainless Steel Drain (FG-DA-3/8).
- Apply Thread Sealant
Apply thread sealant to the 1/4” NPT Male Pipe Thread on the 1/4” Stainless Steel Ball Valve (DBV-1/4).
- Connect and Tighten the Ball Valve
Thread the 1/4” Stainless Steel Ball Valve onto the Stainless Steel Drain and wrench tighten to secure the connection firmly.
- Close the Ball Valve
To temporarily prevent drainage, close the Ball Valve by turning the handle clockwise a quarter turn so the handle is perpendicular to the axis of the Ball Valve.
- Open the Ball Valve
To allow drainage, open the Ball Valve by turning the handle counterclockwise a quarter turn so the handle is in-line with the axis of the ball valve.
- Attach Drainage Tube (Optional)
Attach a tube or hose to the 1/4” NPT Outlet Port at the bottom of the Ball Valve for extended drainage, if desired.
