Leak Detection & Automatic Water Shut-off System
Installation and Operating Manual
Congratulations on your purchase of a Floodstop electronic water leak detection and automatic water shut-off kit
for water heaters. This product has been designed to give you years of reliable service and minimize home water
damage by detecting water leaks and automatically shutting off the water supply.
To ensure proper installation and to maximize the performance of your Floodstop water leak detection system,
please read this manual thoroughly.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING:
If a leak is detected, the Floodstop Valves will shut off the water
going to the washing machine. This will stop the continuous flow of water from the water supply valve to the
water heater. However, all or some of the water that is already in the water heater and hoses may still leak out
onto the floor.
NOTE:
This unit was shipped with an installation and operating manual that contains important information about
its operation. If you are installing this unit for use by others, we recommend you leave this manual – or a copy of
it – with the user.

Installation
1. Shut off main water supply valve.
Step 4 instructs you to install the Floodstop Valve (3/4” FIP x ¾”
MIP) between the rigid water line coming off the manual cold
water valve and the water heater. Most rigid lines will be copper.
Evaluate your line and determine which size adapter fitting you
will need (the most common one will be 3/4” solder x 3/4” MIP).
Then determine what size union you will need between the
Floodstop Valve and the water heater. Note that in some cases
you can use a flexible or corrugated water heater connector in
place of a union.
2. Open faucet nearest water heater to relieve water pressure.
3. Shut off the manual cold water valve that supplies water to the
water heater. Note that the top of the water heater will usually be
marked “Cold” or “Inlet” at the point where the cold water line is
connected.
4. Position the Floodstop Valve so that the arrow on the side of the
valve is pointing to the water heater. Install the Floodstop Valve
between the rigid water line coming from the manual cold water
valve and the water heater.
NOTE:
The Floodstop Valve should
be installed within 2 feet of the water heater so that the Leak
Sensor can lay flat on the floor.
5. Mount the Floodstop Control Panel in an easily accessible location
within 30 inches of the Floodstop Valves. You may mount the
panel using the screws and anchors, or Hook & Loop Mounting
Pad provided. When using the Hook & Loop Mounting Pad, make
sure the adhesive is put on a clean, dry surface.
NOTE:
Depending
on the location you pick, and the distance between the hot and
cold shut-off valves, you may need to purchase two (2) Floodstop
Control Panel to Valve Extension Wires, Model #FSACEXT9
(available where you purchased your Floodstop System).
6. With the contacts of the wire harness connector facing you, plug
the 6-pin connector end of the Wire Harness into the bottom of
the Control Panel.
7. Take the 2 short wires coming from the Control Panel and
connect each one to a Floodstop Valve (make sure the arrow
on the side of the plugs line up with each other). It does not
matter which wire gets connected to which Floodstop Valve.
NOTE:
The Leak Sensor comes with a Paper Sleeve. If the Leak
Sensor is going to make contact with the washing machine, or
any other piece of metal, make sure you leave the Paper Sleeve
on. If the Leak Sensor makes contact with metal, it will signal the
Floodstop Valve to shut off. The Paper Sleeve acts as a barrier
between the Leak Sensor and the metal. When the Paper Sleeve
becomes wet, it will signal the Floodstop Valve to shut off. If the
Leak Sensor will not be contacting metal, you may remove the
Paper Sleeve.
8. Connect plug on end of long flat wire coming from Control Panel
to either set of prongs on the Leak Sensor, pushing until plug
snaps in place. Then place Leak Sensor on the floor behind
the washing machine.
NOTE:
Additional Leak Sensors can
be connected together for added protection. For additional
Leak Sensors, purchase Floodstop Water Leak Sensor, Model
#FSAXS01 (available where you purchased your Floodstop
System).
CAUTION:
Do not place Leak Sensor or cord in a
walkway, or other location that may cause someone to trip
and fall.
