MWC-EM Solenoid and 304 Electro Polished SS Vessel 

Installation: 

 

1.

  The ultraviolet unit is designed to be installed in a vertical position.  

The unit is supplied with (2) brackets to support the unit.   

NOTE: The upper bracket has a grounding lug attached to it 

2.

  Place the top bracket (larger one) over the nipple located at the 

top of the vessel.  The end of the bracket with the three holes 

should be facing up towards the top of the vessel. 

3.

  Tighten the gray PVC ring onto the nipple.  This will compress 

down onto the top of bracket. 

4.

  Attach the smaller bracket to the bottom of the vessel.  The 

bracket has a clip type fastener that attaches to the bottom rim of 

the vessel.  The end of the bracket with the three holes should be 

facing down towards the bottom of the vessel. 

5.

  Secure the top bracket to a wall by using three appropriate screws 

or fasteners (not provided).  

Be sure to leave plenty of clearance above vessel for servicing 

the quartz tube and germicidal lamp. (For proper clearance, see 

Specification Table on page 2) 

6.

  Secure the bottom bracket to the wall by using three screws or 

fasteners (not provided). 

7.

  Use quality unions and ball valves on the inlet and outlet for 

servicing the unit.  

See Page 2

 for a typical installation piping 

layout.  If sweat fittings are used, be sure soldering is done in such 

a manner as not to allow heat to reach the UV vessel.  If Schedule 

80 PVC or CPVC is used, make sure to follow the proper primer 

and solvent instructions. 

8.

  Pipe the 

inlet

 into the 

bottom

 nipple of the UV vessel.

 

9.

  Install a 1’’ x 3/4” reducing bushing (not provided) into the inlet of 

the solenoid valve.

 

10.

  Install the ¾” (for the EM7 and EM10 units) or the 1” (for the 

EM20 units) normally closed solenoid to the 

outlet 

on the 

top  

nipple of the UV vessel. Make sure that the solenoid is installed in 

the proper direction.  

See page 2

 There is an internal flow 

restrictor in the outlet nipple of all units.  

It is recommended you 

install a boiler drain on the inlet piping of the unit.  This will 

allow for easy draining of the vessel when replacing the UV 

quartz.
