Determine whether the valve is a 1/4 turn ball valve or
a multi-turn gate valve using the photos below.

Note: If your shut-o valve has a round body, it is
considered a globe valve and should not be used
with the Snap Valve Controller due to a risk of
damaging the rubber seals.
Ball Valve Gate Valve
Ensure your water supply valve functions normally.
• Manually turn the valve to its closed position.
• Turn on the closest faucet and make sure the ow of the
water completely stops.
• Turn o faucet.
• Manually turn the valve to its open position.

Note: If the valve is dicult to turn, requires a tool to
operate, or is not completely shutting o the ow of
water, we strongly recommend calling a plumber to
have the valve replaced.

Locate the standard ball valve adapter.
Place the standard ball valve adapter on the nut attached to
the main water supply valve.
Ensure the adapter fully covers the nut as shown.
If the standard ball valve adapter does not fully cover the nut,
locate the M10 adapter and repeat steps 1-3 to ensure the
correct t.

Determine the handle size on the main water supply valve and
t the adapter to the corresponding side.
Make a mark with a pencil or marker on the correct side of the
adapter so you can reference it later in the assembly process.
Push the adapter onto the Snap Valve drive shaft:
• Push the spring clip on the adapter while sliding the
adapter on to the shaft.
• Ensure the spring clip engages the notch in the shaft by
pushing up and down on the adapter with slight pressure.

Press and hold both the OPEN and CLOSE buttons on top of
the Snap Valve Controller for 10 seconds. Then, let go.
LEDs on the OPEN and CLOSE buttons will illuminate for a
few seconds, indicating the calibration sequence has been
initiated.
Allow the valve to complete its calibration cycle - expect
approximately 3-9 full valve movements, consisting of
open/close cycles.
Look at the OPEN and CLOSE buttons to verify success.
• SUCCESS: OPEN and CLOSE LEDs will turn o and stay o.
• FAILED: OPEN LED stays green. If calibration fails, return
to the “Leveling & Fine Adjustment” section (page 22-23)
to ensure the Snap Valve Controller has been properly
installed and try the calibration process again.
