What is a G 1/2\" Connection?

The G 1/2" connection is a british pipe thread. The difference between the G 1/2" and the 1/2" NPT is so negligable that the two can be used interchangably. If concerned about getting a tight fit, we recommend using some Loctite to seal the two connections together or try using Pex Pipe connections. With that said, we have sold thousands of these units over the span of 20 years and have never received a complaint regarding the G 1/2" connection.

To adjust the amount of time the valve is open, use the enclosed allen wrench. Insert this allen wrench into the small hole in the front of the valve push button. The small allen wrench supplied for adjusting the time is 1.25 mm, or .050", or 1/20". (This size is not found in any standard Allen wrench sets, Metric or SAE, so don't throw it away or lose it!). There is a small adjustment screw in the hole that is located on the front of the valve push button, when turned this will adjust the time. Turning the allen wrench left is longer, meaning the valve will stay open longer, allowing for more time the water is running. Right is shorter, meaning the valve will stay open for a shorterperiod of time, reducing the amount of time water is running. Keep in mind, one full turn is about 5 seconds of time adjustment.
