Do not use pipe-joint compound, Teflon tape, Vaseline or other petroleum greases to lubricate tank
threads. Do not over-tighten when threading Fleck 7000 control valve on to tank. Do not allow hard
piping to cause stress on the Fleck 70000 valve, the pipes should not be pulling down or up on the
valve. Flexible connectors avoid this problem and are recommended.
7.
See how the Fleck by-pass is connected. Note that Items 2 in Fig 4 (below) are the pipe-connectors
and the other end is what gets attached to the control valve. Items 3 are the red clips that hold the
pipe connectors to the by-pass valve - we include two extra red clips with the pipe connector kit.
Your Fleck 7000 is usually shipped in the by-pass position.

Lubricate the by-pass valve o-rings with vegetable oil or silicone grease and connect the bypass
assembly to the Fleck 7000 control by sliding the bypass valve firmly into the body of the Fleck7000.
Once the bypass is in far enough, you will be able to insert the red connector clips. DO NOT USE
PETROLEUM GREASE ON ANY PART OF THE FLECK 7000 CONTROL VALVE.

Next lubricate the end-connectors (#2 in Fig 4) with silicone grease or vegetable cooking oil and insert
them into the bypass valve, then insert the red clips (#3 in Fig 4).
10.
Note that the Fleck 7000 is usually shipped in the bypass position. There is a bypass valve knob on
both the inlet and the outlet (#1 in Fig 4). You can easily tell if it is in bypass because the two holes on
the bypass knob will be in the vertical position. If the valve is in the Service position (which is the
filtering position or ‘in service’ position) the holes will be in the horizontal position. Make sure both
sides are in the by-pass position (Fig 5, below).
