• Avoid short connections of pipe between the system and the
water heater. If you can’t avoid a short connection, move the
system to another location. As a last resort, install a heat trap or
check valve. If this causes “water hammer”, install a water
hammer suppressor.
7. Bypass the Outside Faucets
• Install plumbing pipes to bypass the outside faucet(s). If the
plumbing is not accessible, provide an untreated hose bib on the
inlet pipe.
8. Install the Pipe Connector (Yoke) to the
Bypass Valve
• Once the plumbing is complete, connect the yoke to the bypass
valve (see figure 1).
• Support all plumbing connected to the yoke.
• Connect the raw water supply to the inlet pipe connection of the
yoke. When looking at the front of the system, the inlet is the
pipe connection on the right side of the valve (see figure 2). The
arrow molded into valve indicates the direction of flow.
• Connect the treated water pipe to the outlet pipe connection on
the yoke. When looking at the front of the system, the outlet is
the pipe connection on the left side of the valve (see figure 2).
The arrow molded into the valve indicates the direction of flow.
9. Set the Bypass Valve to Bypass
•
Move the bypass valve handles to the bypass position. The valve
handles should be perpendicular to the pipes (see figure 3).
!
Important Note: Too much weight
on the plumbing connections will
cause a leak.
!
Important Note: Short connections
of pipe may allow hot water to
back up into the system.
!
Important Note: The bypass valve
is not designed to withstand heat
from soldering or twisting from the
attached threaded connections.
