SELF-TAPPING ACCESSORY Ref: DIR – 01
SELF-TAPPING VALVE
Diagram N°1
Installing the self-tapping valve on piping is a simple operation for
which the only tool required is a screwdriver. The valve may be
installed on a pipe with a diameter of 10, 12, 14 or 16 mm.
IMPORTANT: before installing the self-tapping valve, close the
water supply tap to the house and open some taps to ensure that
the system is depressurised and partially drained.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Unscrew the tap body to separate it completely from the flanges as
shown in Diagram N°1.
2. Place the flanges on the pipe. Ensure that the round side of the
seal is turned in the right direction as indicated in Diagram N°2.
3. Tighten the 2 fastening screws firmly, but without exaggerating.
That is why it is best to systematically change sides when
tightening the screws.
4. Once the flanges are solidly tightened down on to the pipe, screw
the valve body on to the flange assembly. Before screwing the valve
body on to the flange, do not forget to fit the locking ring as
shown in Diagram N° 1, if not it will impede during the tapping
operation. The valve must be tightened down hard on to the seal but
not excessively since overtightening is useless and may deform the
seal. When you have finished with the screws, turn the tap in the
desired direction and block it by turning the lock nut up the flange
as shown in Diagram N°3.
5. Check that the self-tapping valve is in the "closed" position,
pressurise the water system again, purge the air from the pipes by
opening the valves slowly and check that the installed assembly does
not leak. If a leak should occur on pressurisation, check that the seal
is correctly orientated and that the valve is correctly tightened against
the flange.
Suggestion: when the drill tip touches the copper pipe, tighten
down one turn and then back off half a turn, then tighten down a full
turn and back off half a turn and so on until the pipe is drilled right
through. Drilling in this way will avoid burrs and crushing the copper
pipe.
