If the bracket does not ﬁt over the ball valve, or seems to be too loose, try the other bracket.
Page 19 Install the Bulldog Valve Robot, Continued 3. Place the upper bracket and lower bracket on the valve, as shown, and loosely tighten the screws. Important! The bracket must be mounted to the ball valve, not to the pipe. The ball valve should have at least one side shaped like a nut or bolt head.
Page 20 Install the Bulldog Valve Robot, Continued 4. Position the bracket so that it is aligned with the pivot point of the ball valve, by visualizing a line between the tab slot and the pivot point, as shown. Tab Slot Pivot Point 5.
