Bypass Valve and Air Line Check Valve Assembly Installation
The bypass valve connects directly to the control valve with the inlet check valve, the flow meter and two assembly pins
(Figure 11). Lubricate all o-rings on the inlet check valve and flow meter with silicone lubricant. Make sure that the inlet check
valve is installed on the inlet side of the control where the arrow points toward the control valve. The arrow on the check valve
also needs to point toward the control valve. The flow meter is installed on the outlet side of the control valve where the arrow
points away from the valve. (

NOTE!
If the ground from the electrical panel or breaker box to the water meter or underground copper pipe is tied to
the copper water lines and these lines are cut during installation of the bypass valve, an approved grounding
strap must be used between the two lines that have been cut in order to maintain continuity.
The length of the grounding strap will depend upon the number of units being installed. In all cases
where metal pipe was originally used and is later interrupted by the bypass valve to maintain proper
metallic pipe bonding, an approved ground clamp c/w not less than #6 copper conductor must be used
for continuity.
Check your local electrical code for the correct clamp and cable size.
