. INSTALLING 3---VALVE BYPASS
If installing a 3---valve bypass system, plumb as needed. If installing sweat copper, be sure to USE LEAD---
FREE SOLDER as required by Federal and State codes. Use pipe joint compound on outside pipe threads.

. MOVE FILTER INTO PLACE
Move the filter into the installation position, setting on a solid, smooth and level surface.
CAUTION:
DO NOT PLACE SHIMS DIRECTLY UNDER THE FILTER. The weight of the tank may cause the
tank base to fracture at the shim.
5
. ASSEMBLE INLET AND OUTLET PLUMBING
Measure, cut and loosely assemble pipe and fittings from the main water pipe, or from bypass valves installed
in step 3, to the filter inlet and outlet copper tubes.
BE SURE UNFILTERED WATER SUPPLY PIPE GOES TO THE FILTER INLET SIDE. Trace the water flow direc-
tion to be sure.
6
. CONNECT INLET AND OUTLET PLUMBING
Complete the inlet and outlet plumbing as applicable.
a.
SOLDERED COPPER
(1) Thoroughly clean and apply solder flux to all joints.
(2) Make all solder connections.
NOTE: Do not solder with plumbing attached to installation adaptors and single bypass valve. Soldering heat
will damage the adaptors and valve.
IMPORTANT: Secure ground clamp to metal pipes.
b.
THREADED PIPE
(1) Apply pipe joint compound or Teflon tape to all male pipe threads.
(2) Tighten all threaded joints and make all solder connections.
IMPORTANT: Secure ground clamp to metal pipes.
c.
CPVC PLASTIC PIPE
(1) Clean, prime and cement all joints, following the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the plastic pipe
and fittings.
