NOTE Regarding Teflon tape and pipe sealants: It is OK to use Teflon tape and pipe sealant on the
water pipe connector threads, where you attach your pipes or plumbing to the Fleck 5600-SXT. DO
NOT USE any Teflon tape or pipe joint compound on the tank itself or on the threads where the Fleck
5600-SXT threads into the tank.

Install the Fleck 5600-SXT backwash control-timer valve on to the top of the filter tank by hand, do
not over-tighten. Tighten by hand, there is no need for a pipe wrench or other wrench.

See the bypass image below. Note that Item 2 is the plastic pipe connector yoke. Items 3 are the
metal clips that hold the pipe connector yoke onto the bypass valve. To put system on or off bypass
just turn the knobs (1). Fleck 5600-SXT is usually shipped in by-pass position. Leave in bypass
position for now.
