General Installation and Setup:

1. Preparation:
   • Ensure all parts are clean and free from debris before installation.
   • Verify that the valve and piping system are compatible in terms of size and thread type (b-NPT or G-NPT).
2. Connecting the Valve:
   • Apply thread sealant or Teflon tape to the male threads of the piping to ensure a tight seal.
   • Hand-tighten the valve onto the piping, then use a wrench to secure the connection further, avoiding over-tightening which could damage the threads or the valve.
3. Testing the Connection:
   • Once installed, test the valve by opening and closing it several times to ensure smooth operation.
   • Pressurize the system and check for leaks around the connections. Tighten if necessary.
4. Operational Testing:
   • Operate the valve under normal working conditions to ensure it performs correctly and there are no leaks or operational issues.

Maintenance Tips:

• Regular Inspection: Periodically check the valve for signs of wear, corrosion, or leaks.
• Cleaning: Keep the valve clean and free from debris to ensure smooth operation.
• Lubrication: If required, lubricate the valve stem and ball with an appropriate lubricant that is compatible with the media being handled.
• Replacement: Replace any worn or damaged parts promptly to maintain system integrity and safety.

Safety and Compliance:

• Handling: Handle the valve with care to avoid damaging the threads and internal components.
• Compatibility: Ensure that the valve is compatible with the media (water, oil, gas) and pressure requirements of your system.
• Installation: Follow proper installation procedures to prevent leaks and ensure a secure, reliable connection.
