How to Remove the Red Clips from CWS 7800 Control Valves
without Breaking Them
The CWS 7800 is a great programmable control valve that lasts many years. While it is easy to install and
program, reading this guide prior to installation can save you some time when removing the red clips.
What happens is, when the water is first turned on and the control valve comes up to line pressure, the
bypass valve and pipe connectors push out or push apart slightly and lock in the red clips. When the
water is turned off, and even if there is no water pressure, it’s impossible to remove the jammed in clips,
without great difficulty, and eventually most customers end up breaking them to get them out.
Step 1:
Turn off water to the CWS 7800 and relieve the water pressure by opening up a faucet in the
house. You can also put the CWS 7800 on bypass, by turning the bypass valves to bypass.
Either way,
the 7800 control valve must be depressurized before removing the red clips.
Step 2:
At that point they can practically be removed with your fingertips, although a small flat head
screw driver or needle nose pliers works best to pull out the red clips.
