STEP 3. Connecting the Softener
IMPORTANT! On copper plumbing systems, be sure to install a grounding wire between
the inlet and outlet piping to maintain grounding.
WARNING! Any solder joints being soldered near the valve must be done before
connecting any piping to the valve. Always leave at least 6” (152 mm) between the
control valve and joints being soldered when soldering pipes that are connected to the
valve. Failure to do this could cause damage to the valve.
1.
The control valve is equipped with 1” male NPT
connections. It is recommended that these
connections are made using 8-12 wraps of
plumber’s tape.
2. The inlet and outlet can be identified by the
arrows stamped in the bypass valve showing the
flow direction. The arrow pointing toward the
valve is the inlet and the arrow pointing away from
the valve is the outlet.
3.
Apply the plumber’s tape onto the bypass inlet and
outlet fittings.
4.
Connect the inlet and outlet of the softener using
appropriate fittings.
5. All piping should be secured to prevent stress on
the bypass valve and connectors.
6. Connect the drain hose to the valve by removing
the orange lock clip and push the 1/2” black tubing
into the hole. Secure the line by pushing the
locking clip back in.
7.
Pull the drain line to see if it is secure. Run the drain
hose to the nearest laundry tub or floor drain. This
can be run a max of 7 ft overhead or down along
the floor. Drain hose should be a minimum of 1/2”.
If running the drain line more than 20 ft linear, it is
recommended to increase the hose size to 3/4” and
be sure there are no sags or “drops” in the hose on
the way to the drain destination.
Note:
A direct connection into a waste drain is not
recommended. A physical air gap of at least 1.5”
should be used to avoid bacteria and wastewater
traveling back through the drain line into the softener.
