must install a pressure limiting valve. Contact a plumbing
professional if you are uncertain how to check your water
pressure.
• DO NOT install where water hammer conditions may occur.
If water hammer conditions exist you must install a water
hammer arrester. Contact a plumbing professional if you are
uncertain how to check for this condition.
• Where a backfl ow prevention device is installed on a
