Advanced Bridge Valve™ Operation

The following steps will determine if the Advanced Bridge Valve is operating correctly.

  1. Close the cold water angle stop below the sink.
  2. Quickly turn the hot water faucet on and then off to activate the pump.
  3. Open the cold water faucet.
  4. 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.
