Following installation, the valve lever MUST be operated AT
LEAST ONCE A YEAR to ensure that the water-ways are clear.
Certain naturally occurring mineral deposits may adhere to the valve,
rendering it inoperative. When manually operating the lever, water
will discharge and precautions must be taken to avoid contact with
hot water and to avoid water damage. BEFORE operating lever,
check to see that a discharge line is connected to this valve directing
the flow of hot water from the valve to a proper place of disposal
otherwise personal injury may result. If no water flows, valve is inop-
erative. CALL A PLUMBER IMMEDIATELY.
This device is designed for emergency safety relief and shall not be
used as an operating control.
