INSTALLATION
Screwed end valves have NPT threads. To insure a leaktight
joint, liberal use of a compatible pipe joint compound is
necessary. The Eliminator may be installed for flow in either
direction. It is recommended, however, that a screwed
valve be installed with the body cap facing upstream. Use
standard piping practices when installing valves with
threaded parts. When tightening the valve to the pipe,
apply the wrench to the end nearest the pipe being
worked (see Figure 1). Adjust packing prior to installation.
See the MAINTENANCE Section of this IMO.
