inlet valve mounting screws. Be sure the inlet
valve lid operates freely. Apply glue to an ade-
quate length of tubing and aim it upwards
through the hole and into the 90 degree dual
elbow fitting on the back of the mounting plate.
Join this branch line to the trunk line using a 90
degree sweep tee.
If the inlet valve is to be serviced from the attic,
shorter pieces of tubing joined by couplings
may be required due to overhead space restric-
tions. Precut these pieces and work quickly to
prevent the cement on the end of the tubing
from drying before it reaches the fitting at the
valve below.

Having determined the location is suitable, cut
a 2- 1/2" (6.35cm) x 4-3/8" (11cm) hole in the
to the end of a sufficiently long piece of tubing
and pass it up from beneath. If the trunk line is
in the attic, tie a weight to the end of the low-
voltage wire and lower it through the opening.
Remove the wire and pass it through the upper
hole in the trimmed mounting plate. Bare an
inch of both wire leads and wrap them around
the lugs on the back of the valve in a clockwise
direction. Tighten the lugs with a Phillips screw-
driver.
Apply cement to the flange on the back of the
