Step 1
If not factory pre-installed, attach bypass valve or yoke assembly using adapter couplings, clips and screws to control valve (Figure 2). On meter initiated models,
attach meter between bypass valve and control valve (Figure 2).
Step 2
Shut off all water at main supply valve. On a private well system, turn off power to pump and drain pressure tank. Make certain pressure is relieved from com-
plete system by opening nearest faucet to drain system.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
•
SHUT OFF FUEL OR ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY TO WATER HEATER
after water is shut off.
Step 3
Cut main supply line as required to fi t plumbing to inlet and outlet of unit.
Step 4
Attach plumbing. Do not apply heat to any fi tting connected to bypass or control valve as damage may result to internal parts or connecting adapters. Make
certain water fl ow enters through inlet and discharges through outlet. Loosen set screw and pull out drain line fl ow control (DLFC) assembly from valve body
(Figure 2). Unscrew drain line elbow from DLFC. Apply thread tape to threads. Reassemble and fully insert into valve body before tightening set screw with fi nger
pressure only (overtightening set screw may crack fi tting).
CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
•
Do not
use a torch or other high temperature sources near fi lter system, cartridges, plastic fi ttings or plastic plumbing.
• On plastic fi ttings, never use pipe sealant or pipe dope.
Use PTFE thread tape only,
pipe dope properties may deteriorate plastic.
• Take care when using pliers or pipe wrenches to tighten plastic fi ttings, as damage may occur if over tightening occurs.
