How to Attach and Remove Pipe Fittings

When installing a MagnaValve, it is essential to attach and remove pipe fittings to and from
the MagnaValve correctly so as not to break the valve body or the pipe from the valve.
Below are some of the proper procedures when installing a MagnaValve. These apply, however,
to many other instances when using a vise or a clamp.

DO

Do use two pipe wrenches—one on the valve pipe and one on the pipe fitting.
Do mount the pipe fitting in a vise and use one pipe wrench on the valve pipe to attach or remove
the pipe fitting.

DON’T

Do not use the valve body as a wrenching surface. This can break the valve.
Do not mount the valve in a vise. Do not use a single pipe wrench on the pipe fitting.
