When gluing the socket fittings be sure not to use excessive amounts of glue or primer. Over-gluing the socket will push glue into the valve and weld the union/ball closed. Primer or glue on the internal ball of the valve will void warranty.

We recommend removing the valve from the socket end and gluing the socket and union lock ring to the pipe prior to installation of the valve.

Valves need a minimum runtime of 30 seconds in order to charge the return capacitor. Failure to do so will result in the valve not fulling closing.

Required amperage to open valve is 1.0 Amp at 24VAC/24VDC. Voltage will drop and stabilize at ~0.2 Amps after the ball has fully opened.
