Plumbing and Mechanical Setup
Note:
1)
If making a soldered copper installation, all sweat soldering should be done before connecting pipes
to the valve. Torch heat will damage plastic parts.
2) When turning threaded pipe fittings onto plastic fitting, take precaution not to cross thread or over
tighten.
Control Valve Installation
• As Figure 1-1 shows; insert a 32mm riser pipe with bottom basket
into the center of the mineral tank. If pipe is higher than the tip
of
the pressure tank, mark it, remove from tank, and cut. Take care to
keep foreign material out of pressure tank.
Note:
The length of the
riser pipe should be below tank flange. The distance from the top of
the tank to the top of the pipe should be between
3/16" and 1/4".
The edges of the pipe should not be sharp to avoid damage to the
seal inside the Genesis 2 AIO valve.
• Install Valve Base O-ring around the ne
c
k of the valve.
• Lubricate the center hub O-ring of the Genesis 2 AIO valve.
• Install the top baske
t
with a twist and lock action to center hub of
the
Genesis 2 AIO valve.
• Place Genesis 2 AIO valve onto tank with the distribution pipe
inserted down the middle of the top basket. Rotate clockwise to
secure onto the tank.
Do not overtighten! Overtightening may
cause
the valve to crack and void the warranty.
