Piping Installation
1.
Using Teflon tape on pipe threads,
make sure to connect the IN pipe to
inlet and OUT pipe to the outlet. As
you face the 5900-BT control from the
front, the water enters on the right
and exits on the left. From the back
the water enters on the left.
2.
The inlet and outlet are attached to the bypass valve, which is marked with arrows as well.
3.
Make sure there is a hose bib installed after the system, and a working gate
or ball valve before filter system and also one after as shown in Fig 2. The
pressure gauges are optional but
a hose bib is strongly recommended after
the Pro Ox 5900-BT and before the second ball valve.
This makes it easy to
rinse your new system on start-up and gives you a place to test water
before it enters your house plumbing.
4.
If you will be using copper piping, do not sweat the copper pipe directly on to the 5900-BT
control valve. Avoid heating up the control valve with the torch, as the plastic will melt.
5.
You do not need unions to install your 5900-BT control valve. If you need to remove it, the
5900-BT control valve has quick-release couplings that make it easy to put the 5900-BT on
by-pass and remove the filter system from the piping.
6.
The drain line tubing is connected to a drain from drain outlet using flexible tubing. Note
that drain line can run up above the 5900-BT control and into a drain.
7.
Most plumbing codes require an air-gap connection for the drain line tubing, so that if your
sewer or septic tank backs up, it cannot connect with the drain tubing.
