Brassmaster PLUS MEGAbite Installation & Operation Manual Download Page 2

Installation Procedure 

1. 

Identify  installation  location. 

MEGAbite  piping  should  originate  shortly  after  incoming 

water supply shutoff, but just after any outside water lines, such that all water intended for 

interior use flows through MEGAbite first. 

IMPORTANT: there must not be any filters in-

stalled upstream of the MEGAbite, or insufficient water pressures may affect operational 
performance. 

This system and installation must comply with state and local laws and regu-

lations. 

2. 

Connect water piping. 

This unit has been supplied with a manually operated bypass device 

which enables it to be isolated from the water service lines for maintenance and service, and 

also  maintain  the  continuity  of  the  water  supply  when  the  MEGAbite  is  disconnected.

  

IMPORTANT: Make all sweat-solder connections within 6 inches of the unit before apply-
ing threaded fittings to supplied bypass valve. Overheating may cause damage to valve. 

Turn supplied bypass valve to “Bypass” position and make connections to household water 

lines. Leave unit in “Bypass” position until startup procedure. 

3. 

Connect drain line. 

Remove barbed drain line fitting from parts bag. Apply thread seal 

tape to threads and turn into the female threaded opening on the back side of the control 

valve. Connect 5/8” drain line (supplied in parts bag) to barbed end of drain line fitting and 

run to a nearby drain.  

IMPORTANT: It is highly recommended that a hose clamp be used to secure tubing to 
drain fitting to ensure tubing from being removed during elevated pressure situations. 

 

Be sure not to submerse drain line end into drain, as a 1 1/2” minimum air gap must be 

maintained to prevent potential backflow hazard. Firmly secure at drain, while maintaining 

a minimum 1 1/2” air gap (See detailed drawing on back side of piping diagram). 

4. 

Connect  to  electrical  power  source. 

Connect  power  cord  to  a  separate  120v,  15  amp, 

ground fault interrupt (GFI) outlet.  

Proceed to start-up procedure. 

 
 
 
 

 

Note:   This system is not intended to be used for treating water that is microbiologically  

 

unsafe or of unknown quality without disinfection before or after the system.
