Hello all,
Hope everyone is doing well.
Wanted some feedback and advice. I am adding a 1" zwave shutoff valve on inside of house just after the shutoff outside.
Questions:
1. Any issues with adding this before or after the regulator? I was going to move it up to have a little more room
2. Is the 1 in. Copper Pressure Cup x MIP Male Adapter the correct fittings to use or should I use a brass version
3. Any suggestions on brackets to support the valve or copper pipe around the valve being that its vertical and quite heavy
4. I'm comfortable with the mechanics behind soldering from lots of electrical. I am sure there are nuances, but outside of water concerns and making sure its very dry anything else to watch out for? I have found the recommended solder amount by pipe size and other tips. Just wanting to check in with you all
5 Giving the fixed nature, will the valve or accompanying motor be damaged from heat due to soldering? Should I solder the coupler to a longer pipe section, attach that to the valve and then solder it in? Is there a recommended distance from components that you follow to avoid damage from heat soaking?
