Threading on Watts / Grundfos thermal bypass sensor valve

[mdmbkr]

I'm installing one of these valves under the floor for a pedal-operated faucet that doesn't have any of the typical braided stainless faucet supply hoses. Can I successfully attach this valve directly to my piping using 1/2" FNPT brass adapters?

The reason I worry it might not work: the adapters don't have rubber washers inside (like supply lines do), and the male threads on the bypass valve have a notch cut out as in this picture:

The fip adapters will not work because of those cut notches

Will it work to connect a MIP adapter to a FIP faucet supply?

Never used one but I thought it's for a braided faucet connection one end comes from the stop+waste and the faucet end goes were your brass fittings are,watts has a simple video showing you exactly how to hook it up

Use some stainless braided supply lines and it’ll work.

Thanks folks, used the supply lines and everything hooked up fine, just not very pretty =)
