Advanced Bridge Valve™ Installation
Location:
The Advanced Bridge Valve should be installed under the kitchen or bathroom sink at the farthest fixture from the water heater. Branched plumbing systems will need a Advanced Bridge Valve at the end of each line. Additional Advanced Bridge Valves are available at www.FasterHotWater.com.
Note: Do not use Teflon tape or pipe dope on Advanced Bridge Valve connections.

Advanced Bridge Valve™ Operation
The following steps will determine if the Advanced Bridge Valve is operating correctly.
- Close the cold water angle stop below the sink.
- Quickly turn the hot water faucet on and then off to activate the pump.
- Open the cold water faucet.
- Water should flow from the faucet until warm water (95°F) reaches the Advanced Bridge Valve. The flow should gradually decrease until no water is coming from the faucet at which time the Advanced Bridge Valve has closed.
