Frequently Asked Questions
What safety warning applies when tightening pipe connections?
Do not use the valve or actuator as a lever; locate wrenches on the hexagonal section of the adapter or piping instead.
How do I ensure I have the correct parts when starting the installation?
You must order specific Inlet/Outlet Pipe Thread Adapter Kits listed in Table 1. Always check that all supplied parts match the required kit number.
What should I inspect before using o-rings or thread adapters?
Inspect components for damage; if any nicks, cuts, or signs of damage are found on the sealing surfaces, contact ASCO for replacement parts.
How do I verify that the installed valve system has no leaks?
External leakage testing must be performed once all valves and hardware are installed using a seam test or specialized leak detection equipment.
