6.22.3 Water valve connection issues
Some installation issues have occurred with water inlet valves.
6.22.3.1
Fig. 91: NPT threads (wrong, left) compared with hose threads (correct, right)
Some installers / customers have cross-threaded / stripped valve threads or used
wrong connectors (e.g. ¾" NPT instead of ¾" hose fittings), resulting in
codes from leaking.
¡
When customers complain of water leaking from tubs, check water inlet valves for
cross-threaded / stripped threads - don't assume leaks are due to leaky tubs.
¡
Replace water inlet valves with cross-threaded or stripped threads.
¡
Instruct installers / customers to use ¾" garden hose connectors / fittings, not ¾"
NPT, as NPT threads can strip / cross-thread plastic water valve threads. NPT fit-
tings have fine, tapered threads designed to wedge / grind together to prevent
leaking without gaskets and are often used in automotive / hydraulic applications.

¡
Water connection: ¾" garden hose female. Inlet water pressure
range: 5 - 120 psi (0.3 – 8.27 bars).
¡
When reconnecting the water supply hose to the water valve, don't
overtighten the elbow fitting. Hand tighten snugly.
¡
If water supply hose seal doesn't seat properly, use Teflon tape on
water fitting to prevent leaking.
