and tighten the nut on to the ¾” drain line fi tting. The nut is only designed for use with fl exible polytube. Use other nuts if attaching
different materials.
To access the drain line fl ow control remove the locking clip by pulling it straight out. Pull fi tting out and replace the locking clip so
that it is not misplaced. The drain line fi tting is pressed in and has an o-ring seal.
In the ¾ ” elbow, the white fl ow control retainer is pressed in and has an o-ring seal. The retainer can be removed by rotating and
pulling. The fl ow control can be removed by prying upward with a small blade fl at screwdriver in one of the slots on the side. The
drain line fl ow control and retainer can be chemically cleaned in dilute sodium bisulfi te or vinegar, or replaced. Do not use a wire
brush to clean the fl ow control or the washer. The washers are identifi ed with three numbers, which correspond to the fl ow rate.
When reinstalling make sure the identifying number and the rounded inside diameter on the washer is visible when seated in the
retainer. The white fl ow control washer retainer can also be removed and cleaned. Push the retainer in fi rmly when reinstalling.
In the 1 ” straight fi tting, the retainer is the fi tting. Unscrew the nut to access the fl ow control. The drain line fl ow control and the
fi tting can be chemically cleaned or replaced. Do not use a wire brush to clean the fl ow control or the fi tting.
Do not use Vaseline, oils, or other unacceptable lubricants on o-rings. A silicone lubricant may be used on the black o-ring. Use a
pliers or crescent wrench to tighten or unscrew the nut. Do not use a pipe wrench to tighten or loosen nut. Do not use pipe dope
or other sealants on threads. Use Tefl on tape on the threads of the drain line control fi tting when installing ¾” NPT or 1” straight
fi tting.
Installation Fitting Assemblies
The installation fi ttings connect to the control valve or the bypass valve using nuts that only require hand tightening. Hand tighten
nut connections between control valve and installation fi ttings, control valve and bypass valve, and bypass valve and installation
fi ttings allow for easy serviceability. Do not use a pipe wrench to tighten nuts on installation fi ttings. Hand tighten only.
The split ring retainer design holds the nut on and allows load to be spread over the entire nut surface area, reducing the chance for
leakage. The split ring design incorporated into the installation fi ttings allows approximately 2 degrees off axis alignment to the
plumbing system. The installation fi ttings 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 fi tting package, connect the fi tting to the plumbing system fi rst 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
o-rings, 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 fi tting fi rst, then the split ring second and the o-ring last. Hand tighten the nut. If the fi tting is leaking tightening
the nut will not stop the leak. Remove the nut, remove the fi tting, and check for damage or misalignment of the o-ring.
Do not use pipe dope or other sealant on threads. Use Tefl on tape on threaded inlet, outlet and drain fi ttings. Tefl on tape is not
necessary on the nut connection or caps because of o-ring seals.
Do not use Vaseline, oils, or other unacceptable lubricants on o-rings. A silicone lubricant may be used on black o-rings.
Bypass Valve
The bypass valve easily connects to the control valve body using nuts that only require hand tightening. Hand tighten nut
connections between control valve and fi ttings, control valve and bypass valve, and bypass valve and installation fi ttings allow
for easy serviceability. The split ring retainer design holds the nut on and allows load to be spread over the entire nut surface
area, reducing the chance for leakage. The split ring design incorporated into the bypass allows approximately 2 degrees off axis
alignment to the plumbing system. The bypass is designed to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments but is not designed to
support the weight of a system or the plumbing.
Avoid getting primer and solvent cements on any part of the o-rings or split rings, bypass valve or control valve. Do not use pipe
dope or other sealant on threads. Tefl on tape is not necessary on the caps because of o-ring seals.
Do not use Vaseline, oils, or other unacceptable lubricants on o-rings. A silicone lubricant may be used on black o-rings.
