Installation
Step 1: Once both the orientation and location have
been selected, securely fasten the rack to a suitable back-
ing. As the rack system is extremely heavy when filled
with water, it is imperative that the rack be mounted with
suitable fasteners for the particular installation. Mounting
to a drywall backing is not suitable, unless the rack is fas-
tened directly to the wall studs.
Step 2: The use of a by-pass assembly is recommended
as it will allow you to isolate the UV system This will allow
for easier access in case maintenance is required.
Step 3: For water supplies where the maximum flow
rate is unknown, a flow restrictor is recommended so that the rated flow of your particular RMS
system is not exceeded. The flow restrictor should be installed on the inlet port of the reactor.
Step 4: It is recommended to have a licensed plumber connect the UV reactor to the water
supply and may be a requirement depending on where you are located.
Step 5: Connect both the inlet and outlet to the rack system with the applicable connections
based on your particular plumbing requirements. The inlet port of the filters is a 1” FNPT connec-
tion and the outlet port of the UV reactor is a 1” MNPT connection.
Step 6: Once the system has been plumbed in, gently remove the
quartz sleeve from its packaging being careful not to touch the length
with your hands. The use of cotton gloves is recommended for this pro-
cedure as oils from the hands can leave residue on the sleeve and lamp
which can ultimately block the UV light from getting to the water.
Carefully slide the sleeve into the reactor until you can feel it hit the
opposite end of the reactor. Align the sleeve so it centered along the
length of the reactor, then gently push it in to lock it into the internal
centering springs in the far side of the reactor. CAUTION: Pushing too
hard when the sleeve is not aligned can damage the centering springs.
Slide the o-ring onto the sleeve until it is butted up against the reactor
(See Figure 4).

Sleeve Installation
Step 7: Hand tighten the provided gland nut over the quartz sleeve onto the threaded end of
the reactor. It has a positive stop to prevent over-tightening. A firm force may be required to fully
tighten the gland nut, but DO NOT USE TOOLS for this step. Insert the provided stainless steel
compression spring into the quartz sleeve. The spring works with the lamp and lamp connector
to create the proper lamp alignment. PLEASE NOTE: DO NOT install a UV lamp inside the quartz
sleeve without the sleeve spring in place.
Step 8: Install the filter cartridges in their appropriate housings. For the RMS branded prod-
ucts, please refer to the RMS Rack-Mount UV System Specification chart. PLEASE NOTE: This
chart indicates the correct cartridge position for the default “left-hand” orientation with the
water inlet located on the left side of the rack system. If the orientation was switched, the car-
tridge placement must also be switched. Once the cartridges are in place, use the supplied filter
wrench to “snug” the filter housing onto the filter head (See Figure 5).
