✔ Ensure all port threads are clean and properly sealed with DOT-approved compound
✔ Verify correct pressure source lines are connected to inlets A and B
✔ Confirm leak-free installation and correct pressure priority during functional test
✔ Replace with diaphragm-type only if system requires internal diaphragm sealing and non-shuttle behavior
