near, the filtration system. The use of union (o-ring
seal) connections is highly recommended for ease of
installation and future servicing.

caUtIOn
this equipment is to be installed to comply with
the basic plumbing code of the building Officials
and code administrators, Inc. (bOca) and the
food service sanitation manual of the food and
Drug administration (fDa).
caUtIOn
water pressure must not exceed 100 psig (690
kpa). to reduce water pressure, install a water
pressure regulator and set water pressure to suit
application. note that the trans membrane pres-
sure must not exceed 45 psi (310 kpa).
caUtIOn
flow regulator assemblies are nOt interchange-
able. Operating the system with the wrong flow
regulator or without a flow regulator can dam-
age the system, cause personal injury, and
will void the warranty!
flOw reGUlatOr assembly
Your filtration system uses a water Flow Regulator
Assembly that controls the flow of water into the unit.
This assembly consists of a white threaded male con-

General
When placing the unit into service, pay attention to the
following guidelines:
• Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
• Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
electrIcal
Ensure that the line voltage corresponds to the stated
voltage on the units specification label. Make sure that
the plug on the power cord from the system and the
outlet match. For proper operation, and to ensure the
highest quality water from the system, make sure that
the system is not connected to a switched electrical
outlet.
plUmbInG
nOte: this unit is designed to use tap water not to
exceed 100°f (38°c) or 100 psig (690 kpa).
The UFL-420 and UFL-440 systems use the following
connections (Figure 1):
• Water Inlet
1” NPT
• Permeate (Product Water)
1” NPT
• Drain
3/4” NPT
When making a plumbing connection to the system,
remember to use a back-up wrench on the supporting
plumbing. Always use a good quality, approved pipe
sealant or thread seak tape on pipe threads. Be careful
not to get the pipe sealant inside the pipe when making
the connections.
DO nOt
over tighten the connections. It is recom-
mended that plastic fittings be used when connecting to
the plastic connections of the system. This will reduce
the possibility of cracking the connections due to over-
tightening.
