    Pre-Installation Checklist

    • Determine the direction of open/close for the installed manual ball valve.
    • Determine which side of the manual ball valve has at least 6 inches of clear space along the pipe from the solder connection to the pipe.
    • Ensure the pipe and valve are at least 2 inches from any obstruction, such as a wall.
    • Ensure a power source is within 6 ft. of the Clamp-On Actuator.

    If the 6" of clear space is on the non-handle side of the manual ball valve, mount the actuator accordingly; if it's on the handle side, make sure clearance around the actuator's handle distance clears the manual ball valve handle.
