Before Starting Installation
(Cont’d)
PLAN HOW YOU WILL INSTALL THE FILTER
»
You must first decide how to run in and out pipes to the filter. Look at the house main water
pipe at the point where you will connect the filter. Is the pipe soldered copper, glued plastic or
threaded brass/galvanized? What is the pipe size?
»
Determine the direction of the water flow in the home, then turn off incoming water supply valve.
Plumb the incoming water line into the bypass valve side marked “IN”. Plumb the line leaving
the filter into the bypass valve side marked “OUT”.
PRODUCT INSTALLATION SEQUENCE
Unless special equipment is available to mechanically torque
the valve to the tank, please follow the steps below:
1)
Hand spin the valve onto the tank, ensuring the threads
are not cross-threaded.
Note: All Fleck valves are right-
hand threads, or clockwise, to install.
2)
Rotate the valve freely without using force until it comes to a
stop (this position is considered zero).
3)
Rotate valve clockwise from zero to between ¼ turn and ½
turn (see diagram to the right).

INSTALLING VALVE HEAD ON TANK

Note: Do NOT use the drain connector to tighten the valve on the tank. This can break the
drain connection or crack the valve.
