INSTALLING WALL INLET VALVES
(FINISHED HOUSE)
Be sure of all dimensions before drilling holes or cutting wall opening. After
deterring the location of the first inlet valve, check the area in which the tubing
will enter to be sure there are no obstructions.
Drilling Holes for Tubing
3.1 To find an un-obstructed section in wall (between studs), tap with your
finger on wall unit until it sounds hollow. Using a 1/8" drill bit, drill a pilot hole
right through floor directly below the selected location of the inlet valve and as
close to the baseboard as possible.
Insert a coat hanger wire or equivalent
into hole so that it
projects below floor boards.
From
underneath floor measure
fromm coat hanger to center or 2'x 4" plate, allowing for thickness
of baseboard and wall covering.
3.2 Drill 2-1/2" hole directly in the center of the 2"x 4". A half to
three-quarter inch inspection hole is advisable before drilling the
2-1/2" hole to ensure there is no obstruction present.
Look up through the inspection hole, using a flashlight, to be sure
there are no electrical wires or other obstructions in the wall.
