Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation: The WV-1 is designed to work with standard 1.5" bath waste pipes. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for a secure and leak-proof installation. Ensure all connections are tight but not over-tightened to avoid damaging the components.
Compatibility: Ensure compatibility with existing plumbing systems. It is essential to use the correct fittings for imperial copper pipes.
Care: Regularly check for leaks and any signs of corrosion. The brass construction is corrosion-resistant, but regular inspections can identify any potential issues early. Clean the valve and surrounding area periodically to prevent buildup.
Maintenance: Avoid using harsh chemicals when cleaning the valve, as these could damage the seal. A mild soap and water solution is sufficient. If you encounter any issues, such as slow draining, remove any obstructions.
