Valve closed, a bit of grease on the seals to hold them on the flange. Spread the gap and insert valve assembly. Hand tighten two kitty corner screws.
Then put the other two screws in and tighten down. Operate the valve and if it's smooth you got it.
The other thing is the seals themselves. There are 3 different ones:
Valterra
Valterra BladeX
Bristol
You can use BladeX in either Valterra valve, but you have to use Bristol seals in a Bristol valve.
