WARNING
If the ground from the electrical panel or breaker box to the
water meter or underground copper pipe is tied to the copper
water lines and these lines are cut during installation of the
bypass valve and/or poly pipe, an approved grounding strap
must be used between the two lines that have been cut in
order to maintain continuity. The length of the grounding
strap will depend upon the number of units being installed
and/or the amount of copper pipe being
replaced with plastic pipe.
See Figure 1.
NOTE
Use of a competent installer or plumbing professional to
ensure this product is installed in accordance with local
plumbing codes is recommended. Canature is not liable for any
non-compliance with local requirements.
MECHANICAL
Do NOT use petroleum-based lubricants such as petroleum jelly, oils or hydrocarbon based lubricants. Use only 100% silicone lubricants (packet Part
#92360 provided in parts kit). All plastic connections should be hand tightened only. Thread tape may be used on connections that do not use an
O-ring seal.
Do NOT use pliers or pipe wrenches except when indicated by nut shape, e.g., pipe adapters. All plumbing must be completed according to local
codes. Soldering connections should be done before connecting any pieces to the pipe as excessive heat can damage them.
Softener resins will degrade in the presence of chlorine or chloramines above one (1) ppm. If you have anything in excess of this amount, you will
experience reduced life of the resin. Pre-carbon filtration may be required ahead of the water softener to reduce chlorine/chloramine levels
TOOLS REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION
Two adjustable wrenches.
Additional tools may be required if modification to home plumbing is required.
Plastic inlet and outlet fittings are included with the softener. To maintain full valve flow, use of ¾” or 1” [1.9 cm or 2.54 cm] pipes to
and from the softener. You should maintain the same or larger pipe size as the water supply pipe to the softener inlet and outlet.
Use copper, brass, or PEX pipes and fittings.
Some codes may also allow PVC plastic pipe.
5/8” [15.8 mm] Outside Diameter drain line is needed for the valve drain.
Drain line tubing may be needed for the optional brine tank overflow fitting.
BEFORE INSTALLATION
Make sure you have a copy of your most recent water test results. If your water has not been tested previously, your professional installer can obtain
a water sample bottle to be sent to one of our facilities for a free analysis.
It is important that this product not be installed until you have
this information
.
In all cases where metal pipe was originally used and is later interrupted by poly pipe, the Noryl bypass valve - or an approved ground clamp with
physical separation and no less than #6 copper conductor - must be used for continuity, to maintain proper metallic pipe bonding.
