Install the discharge lines from the valve in a stacked or flat configuration.
See Fig. A 1-6
Use heavy bodied PVC glue to connect PVC fittings to the valve housing. Do
not get glue inside the housing as it will void the warranty.
Install lines a minimum of 6” below grade or in accordance with local codes.
The distribution system is usually designed to rotate from shallow to deep,
following your factory design. Looking down on the valve, it rotates counter-
clockwise. If a spa is included in the application, it will require a dedicated
line from the valve and a check valve if it is a raised spa.
If all outlet ports on the valve are not needed, use the Y-Pipe as noted in the
plan to aid in efficiency and reduce plumbing costs. *Note: Surface returns
can be applied to the unused port.
Never tie a raised spa bank with any plumbing from a lower body of water
and drain down.
Consult the design plan for proper connections.
Auxiliary Equipment
Heaters
To compensate for heater system pressure
drops, plumb heaters in a bypass line before the
water valve. The heater bypass valve should be
adjusted to ¾ open. See Fig. A 1-7
Chlorinators
In-floor systems can be used with erosion
feeders, ozone generators and in-line salt
converters. Consult manufactures instructions
for proper installation to protect water valve
and other pool equipment. Any chlorinator with
a venturi or restrictive channels should be
plumed with a bypass. See Fig. A 1-7
