## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I use this valve on a tank being filled with reverse osmosis water? Are there pressure requirements?**
A: To get this valve to work reliably, I had to install a pressure reducer and run it at about 25 psi. At the original 50 to 60 psi the valve failed after a few months. At the lower pressure it has worked reliably for the last two years.

**Q: Do you make a threaded elbow connection fitting for this 1/4” model?**
A: I bought a street elbow for this valve on Amazon about three years ago made by  Anderson Metals. Here's the URL: https://www.amazon.com/Anderson-Metals-Fitting-Degree-Barstock/dp/B000BQRHHM/ref=sr_1_2?crid=94134TGU6WAN&keywords=anderson%2Bmetals%2B56116-04&qid=1648703329&sprefix=anderson%2Bmetals%2B%2Caps%2C153&sr=8-2&th=1
