Turn the source water you will be connecting to off. Preferably, the controller will be installed
as far upstream (closest to where the water is access from the main plumbing) as possible from
the device you will be protecting, such as under the kitchen sink or behind an appliance. If you
are going to cut an existing plumbing line, allow for an extra ¾” of tubing on each side of the
controller valve as the valve requires ¾” of pipe or tubing to properly seal.
There are 2 ways to connect the controller to the water line that you want to protect depending
on the type and material of the tubing:
a) Plastic Tubing. Measure the length of tubing needed, and then add
at least one extra foot of tubing for both the incoming and outgoing
lines; this allows you to easily reach the controller. Cut the tubing
with a tube cutter, or very sharp razorblade. It is very important that
the cut is clean and straight through to ensure a good connection into
the quick-connect fittings.
b) Copper Tubing. Measure the length of tubing needed to easily reach the controller, you
may want to use some extra tubing in the event that you have to service the appliance or
controller, if this is the case, loop the extra tubing taking
care that the tubing enters the valve correctly. Use a
simple circular tube cutter (can be purchased from
hardware store) to cut through the tubing in a straight cut.
It is important that the cut is clean and straight through to
ensure a good connection into the quick-connect fittings.
c) Braided tubing. Visit www.leakcontroller.com
Avoid sharp changes in direction when routing the tubing. It is very important to have the
tubing inserted parallel to the valve, do not allow the tubing to exert any upward or downward
force on the valve connection.

Open the valve by turning the front Knob (with the finger-fitting wave grips) ¼ turn clockwise
to the green mark on the cover. Now the controller is open and
loaded. Press the front button and the alarm will sound to activate
the controllers’ test feature. The controller will beep and flash
four times and close the knob back to the red closed position.
Next, the alarm will sound, the LED light will flash twice, and the
controller circuitry will automatically reset itself. Again, open the
valve by turning the front knob ¼ turn clockwise to the green
mark on the cover.
Now the controller is ready to be connected to your water supply
and the controller is in the ready and armed state. The LED light
should be flashing once every 5 seconds, the speaker is off, and
the knob is in the green-armed position.

Quick Reference

The Leak Controller is beeping, how do I shut it off?
••••
The Leak Controller has activated due to one of the following:
1. water touching the sensor (leak or spill)
2. low battery
3. no testing for 2 years and is in maintenance mode
Check for leaks and fix if necessary. Dry sensor(s). Change the
batteries if in doubt. Hold the front button down until the blue
LED light goes solid (stops blinking) and release. Turn the knob
clockwise until locked in position.
