STEP 2.1

Check Sensor Valve Operation

After installing the pump and the sensor valve, verify the valve is 

functioning properly by following the steps below:Step 2.1

Step A -

  Close the cold water stop valve below the sink.

Step B -

  Open the cold water faucet.

Step C -

  Water should fl ow slowly from the faucet until hot water 

reaches the valve. The fl ow should gradually decrease until 

no water is coming from the faucet, at which time the sen-

sor valve is closed.

Step D -

  Close the cold water faucet and open the hot water faucet 

to verify that hot water begins to fl ow quickly from the 

spout.

Step E -

  After verifying the Sensor valve is operating correctly, open 

the cold water stop valve below the sink and check for 

leaks over the next 24 hours.

STEP 2.2

(Optional) 

Parallel Sensor Valve Installation

If you have uninsulated piping or long runs of pipe on a concrete 

foundation it may require adding an additional Sensor Valve or install-

ing valves in parallel to increase the fl ow and reduce temperature 

drop. Follow the steps below for parallel Sensor Valve Installation:

Step A -

  Follow steps A and B of the 3/8” or 1/2” stop valve installa-

tion, depending on your stop valve connection size.

Step B -

  Disconnect faucet supply line connection from the “Hot 

Water Out” and “Cold Water Out” of the previously installed 

Sensor Valve. Take the disconnected end and attach to the 

“Hot Water Out” and “Cold Water Out” of the new Sensor 

Valve.

Step C -

  

3/8” Installation

 – Connect the 3/8” side of the new fl ex 

hoses to the adapters installed on the previously installed 

Sensor Valve and the 1/2” side to the “Hot Water In” and 

“Cold Water In” of the new Sensor Valve respectively.

    

 

1/2" Installation 

– Connect the 3/8” side of the new fl ex 

hoses to the adapters installed on the new Sensor Valve 

and the 1/2” side to the “Hot Water Out” and “Cold Water 

Out” of the old Sensor Valve respectively.

Step D -

  Open the hot and cold water stop valves below the sink.

1/2" Stop Valve Installation

Step A –

  Close both the hot and cold water stop valves below the 

sink.

Step B –

  Place supplied rubber washers in female end of adapters. 

Attach adapters to both “Cold Water In” and “Hot Water In” 

ports of Sensor Valve. Finger tight plus a quarter turn with 

wrench.

Step C –

  Disconnect existing supply line connection from both hot 

and cold stop valves. Take disconnected end and attach 

to the “Hot Water Out” and “Cold Water Out” connections 

respectively.

Step D –

  Connect the 1/2" side of the new fl ex hose to the hot water 

stop valve and the 3/8" side to the adapter installed on 

“Hot Water In” port of the Sensor Valve. Repeat for the 

remaining fl ex hose to the cold water stop valve. 

(See Picture #5).

Step E –

  Open the hot water stop valve and proceed to Step B of 

Step 2.1 Check Sensor Valve Operation.

OR

NOTICE

If desired, Sensor Valve can be mounted to the wall with the 

mounting screws. (See Picture #6).
