6. COLD WATER PIPE GROUNDING
The house cold water pipe (metal only) is often used
as a ground for the house electrical system. The
3--valve bypass type if installation, shown in FIG-
URE 2, will maintain ground continuity. If you use the
plastic bypass valve at the filter, continuity is broken.
To restore the ground, install one of the following
grounds.
a. Use the included hose clamps and wire to jumper
across the inlet and outlet copper tubes FIGURE 6a.
NOTE: Hose clamps must be placed on pipes be-
fore soldering.
b. Install a #4 copper wire across the removed sec-
tion of main water pipe, securely clamping on both
ends (figure 6b).
7. CONNECT INLET AND OUTLET PLUMBING
Complete the inlet and outlet plumbing as applica-
ble.
a. SOLDERED COPPER
(1) Thoroughly clean and flux all joints.
(2) Remove the inlet and outlet tubes from the valve
(pull plastic “C”clips), and o--rings from the tubes.
DO NOT SOLDER WITH TUBES INT THE VALVE.
SOLDERING HEAT WILL DAMAGE THE VALVE.
(3) Make all solder connections. Be sure to keep fit-
tings fully together, and pipes square and straight.
NOTE: If using ground (step 6a), hose clamps must
be placed on pipes before soldering.
(4) AFTER PLUMBING HAS COOLED, repeat
steps 1b and 1c.
b. THREADED PIPE
(1) Apply pipe joint compound to all outside pipe
threads.
(2) Tighten all threaded joints.
(3)
If SOLDERING TO INLET AND OUTLET
TUBES, observe steps (1) through (4) above.
c. CPVC PLASTIC PIPE
(1) Clean, prime and cement all joints (follow instruc-
tions of the plastic pipe and fittings manufacturer).
(2)
IF SOLDERING TO INLET AND OUTLET
TUBES, observe preceding steps (1) through (4).
8. INSTALL VALVE DRAIN HOSE
a. Connect a length of 5/8”I.D. (minimum) hose to
the valve drain elbow on the controller FIGURE 2.
The elbow accepts either a hose onto the barb fit-
ting, or standard garden hose onto the threads. To
use the threads, cut off the barbs with a hacksaw.
NOTE: Flexible drain hose is not allowed in all locali-
ties. See option on page 7.
b. Run the hose to a floor drain, and as typically
shown in FIGURE 2, tie or wire the end to a brick or
other heavy object. This will prevent “whipping”dur-
ing regenerations. Be sure to provide a 1--1/2”mini-
mum air gap, to prevent possible sewer water back-
up.
