Can I remove the handle from a TruDesign Ball Valve?

Yes
To aid installation in confined spaces it may be useful to remove the handle from the Ball Valve. To do so follow the steps below:

# Remove the flush screw cover from the top of the handle (next to the TruDesign logo) with a sharp knife or small flat headed screw driver.
# With a Phillips head screwdriver remove the Stainless screw
# Remove the handle by pulling away from the valve body.
# Ensure the handle is put back on the Ball Valve after installation. Reattach the stainless steel screw then push the screw cover back on the handle.
