Introduzione

Thank you for choosing the Orbit 58085N Hose Y with Shut-Off. This device allows you to split a single outdoor faucet into two independent water sources, each with its own shut-off valve. This manual provides essential information for the proper installation, operation, and maintenance of your new hose Y to ensure long-lasting and efficient performance.

Informazioni sulla sicurezza

  • Do not overtighten connections, as this can damage threads on the hose Y or your faucet.
  • Turn off the main water supply to the faucet before installing or removing the hose Y.
  • In freezing conditions, disconnect the hose Y and store it indoors to prevent damage from ice expansion.

  4. Connessioni di prova: Slowly turn on the water supply to your faucet. Check all connections for leaks. If leaks occur, tighten the connection slightly or re-apply PTFE tape if necessary.

  • Turning Water Off: To close a valve, rotate the lever handle 90 degrees so it is perpendicular to the hose outlet.
  • You can operate one valve independently while the other remains open or closed, providing flexible water management.
