Plumbing
1. Install connecting piping between raw water source and input pipe on control valve.
The installation fittings connect to the control valve or the bypass valve using nuts that only require hand
tightening. Do not use a pipe wrench to tighten nuts on installation fittings. The split ring design, incorporated into
the installation fittings allows approximately 2 degrees off axis alignment to the plumbing system. The installation
fittings are designed to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments but are not designed to support the weight
of a system or the plumbing.
When assembling the installation fitting package, connect the fitting to the plumbing system first and then attach
the nut, split ring and o-ring. Heat from soldering or solvent cements may damage the nut, split ring or o-ring.
Solder joints should be cool and solvent cements should be set before installing the nut, split ring and o-ring.
Avoid getting primer and solvent cement on any part of the orings, split rings, bypass valve or control valve.
Solvent cements and primers should be used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Slip the nut onto the fitting first, then the split ring second and the o-ring last. Hand tighten the nut. If the fitting is
leaking tightening the nut will not stop the leak. Remove the nut, remove the fitting, and check for damage or
misalignment of the o-ring.
Do not use pipe dope or other sealant on threads. Use teflon tape on threaded inlet, outlet and drain fittings.
Teflon tape is not necessary on the nut connection or caps because of o-ring seals.
Note:
All plumbing is to be done in accordance with state and local codes.
Caution:
Before placing wall anchors to support piping ensure that no electrical conduit or wiring is located
behind the intended mounting location.
Note:
The control valve, fittings and/or bypass are designed to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments
but are not designed to support the weight of a system or the plumbing.
2.
Install drain line from control valve to a free flowing drain.
If the drain line is a
⅝
” flexible polytube, slide the nut onto the polytube, then place the polytube insert into the end
of the polytube and tighten the nut on to the ¾” drain line fitting. The nut is only designed for use with fexible
polytube. Use other nuts if attaching different materials. (To access the drain line flow control, remove the locking
clip by pulling it straight out. Pull fitting out and replace the locking clip so that it is not misplaced. The drain line
fitting is pressed in and has an o-ring seal.)
