D) BYPASS VALVE INSTALLATION
Once the softener control valve is installed, install the bypass valve into the back of the control valve.
1)
Pull out the four large red clips from the back of the bypass valve. Set the four red clips aside.
2)
Attach the bypass valve to the control valve.
Push the corresponding side of the bypass into the back of the control valve until it is fully secured.
3)
Replace the two red clips into the bypass valve to secure the attachment. Gently tug on the clips to make sure they
are locked into place.
NOTE ON RE-INSTALLING THE CLIPS:
The red clips will only install if the bypass valve is completely secured. If the red
clips are not able to be re-installed, the bypass valve is not properly pushed into the control valve. Push the bypass
in further. If difficult getting the bypass valve to fully seal to the control valve, use the palm of your hand to “slap” it
in, or use a mallet to softly tap it in. Gently tug on the clips to make sure they are locked into place.
4)
Install either the two a) quick-connect hoses, or b) the standard connection adapters to the bypass valve.
a) Quick-connect hoses:
For now, set the two quick-connect hoses to the side. This will be installed to the bypass valve later.
NOTE: QUICK-CONNECT HOSES DO NOT WORK ON PVC PIPES.
Please use the elbow connection to hard pipe your connections.
b) Standard connections:
Wrap Teflon tape onto the thread of both elbow connection adaptors.
WARNING: USE ONLY TEFLON TAPE ON THE ELBOW ADAPTORS.
