   • 4 AA Alkaline batteries (provided)
2. To protect the valve cover from possible damage, remove it by sliding it away from the valve, and keep it off until you’ve completed installation.
3. Shut off the main water supply valve.
4. Open both hot and cold handles on the faucet nearest the valve to relieve water pressure.

5. The valve will also need to reach an AC power source. It is recommended that the valve is kept operating on AC power (cord provided), with  batteries used as a back-up power source. 
   IMPORTANT:  The valve must be installed after the water main manual shut-off and water meter. It is recommended that the valve be installed at least 8 inches away from water shut-off to avoid damage. Additional fittings may be required. Do not solder fittings near the water meter or smart valve to avoid heat affecting the devices. Position the valve so that the arrow on the side points away from the water meter.
