Although each unit is pre-tested at the factory, it is strongly recommended that you test the valve before installation to ensure proper operation in your home.
INSTALLATION OF THE SMART WATER VALVE
- Make sure the valve is in the "OPEN" position before proceeding with the installation. Separate the controller from the ball valve:
- Remove the pin
- Tilt the controller back and slide it backwards
- Close the main water supply. Open the hot and cold faucets near the main water supply to reduce the water pressure.
Remove the valve safety caps.

- Install the smart water valve just downstream of the main water shut-off valve. Depending on your plumbing, additional fittings may be required (not included).

Do not insert the batteries before the valve is installed to your main water supply and powered by the supplied adapter.
- Open the main water supply to make sure there are no leaks.
The Zigbee valve (VA4220ZB / VA4221ZB) can also act as a secondary valve to the main valve (VA4220WF / VA4221WF) to shut off a second water inlet when leaks are detected.
Once the secondary valve has been added to the main valve, the two valves will always have the same status (OPEN / CLOSE), regardless of whether the command comes from the main or secondary valve.
CONNECT YOUR SECONDARY VALVE TO THE MAIN VALVE
- Remove the valve covers by unscrewing the 4 screws with a flat screwdriver.

- Connect both valves to a power outlet, using the supplied adapters, near the location where they will be installed. By doing so, you will validate the range of communication between the two valves.
