the bypass so that you are reading the In and Out (so that the words are not upside down to you
when holding the bypass), note the following:
2.
The red handles are slightly arrow-shaped; the pointed end is pointing in the direction of flow
when open. The Inlet valve (on the left) turns clockwise, from full open at “12:00 o’clock”, to full
closed at “3:00 o’clock”. The Outlet valve turns clockwise from “6:00 o’clock” full open to “9:00
o’clock” full closed. The valves are stiff when new, so open and close them a few times. Leave
them closed.
a) Choose which yoke (3/4” or 1”, not pictured) you wish to attach to the back end of the
bypass. Remove the barrels
(picture 1)
and apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to each of
the O-rings (two on each barrel, four total) Push the barrels back into the bypass, and push the
yoke onto the barrels. Attach the steel mounting clips on each side and screw in the two screws
(picture 2).
