corresponding markings on the bypass to ensure the correct direction of water flow and
attach the bypass valve to the control valve. The in and out arrows on the bypass should be
pointing the same direction as the in and out arrows on the outside of the control valve.
BE VERY CAREFUL TO MAKE SURE YOU PLUMB THE SYSTEM IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
The bypass assembly is secured to the control valve using threaded fittings. Thread sealant
tape should not be used on these threads. The seal is made by way of o-rings. To attach
the bypass to the control valve, simply thread the 2 nuts on the bypass onto the valve until
the nuts bottom out on the valve body. Do not overtighten - it is normal for some “play” to
exist when the bypass assembly is properly seated. This allows for minor misalignment of
the piping connections and relieves stress on the valve. The 1” NPT connector yokes are
connected to the bypass in the same manner (they are normally shipped to you pre-
connected to the bypass, but you can separate them to make the plumbing to your main
water lines easier if you want).
You will need to purchase the appropriate NPT threaded fittings to connect the connector
yokes to the material and size of your main inlet and outlet water lines.
Plumb your main incoming and outgoing water lines using suitable pipe, fittings, elbows, etc.
as necessary to create a tidy, secure installation up to the back of the bypass valve
(including the correct connection adapters to mate with the threaded fittings on the bypass
assembly’s connection yokes.) Be sure to follow all local plumbing codes.
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND
THAT YOU REMOVE THE
BYPASS ASSEMBLY FROM
THE CONTROL VALVE BEFORE
MAKING THESE FINAL
CONNECTIONS AS YOU MAY
INADVERTENTLY APPLY TOO
MUCH PRESSURE ON THE
VALVE WHILE SECURING THE
ADAPTERS, CAUSING DAMAGE
TO THE VALVE BODY.
