exchanger.
3. Using a flat head screw driver remove and save
pin from front, right side of water valve. (Fig. 8)
4. Remove copper pipe and set aside.

bushing and pipes shown in Fig. 9A. Secure
together with supplied clips.
6. Position flow switch and connecting pipe and
bushing in place of the copper pipe that was
removed.
7. Reinstall pin in water valve and clip on heat
exchanger connection.
8. Connnect the three prong Molex connector cable
to the flow switch.
