. Leave the meter assembly in place.

. We do not recommend applying heat from a soldering torch to solder copper pipe to your
new valve/meter assembly. To help with this:
Solder a 3" to 5" piece of ¾" OR 1" copper pipe into each male adapter.
Now that the pieces of ¾" OR 1" copper pipe are soldered into the adapters, wait until
they are cool enough to touch. Apply Teflon tape or Pipe joint compound to both male
threads, and thread them and tighten them into the By-pass valve before you attach it onto
the back of the valve/meter.
Re-attach the stainless bypass valve back onto the valve/meter assembly and secure it with
the two small stainless steel clamps.
7
. Now position the water softener unit in place for final water line installation, making sure
the bypass valve is set in the "BYPASS"
8
. FIRST, measure and cut the lengths of pipe you need to plumb the main hard water line
into your softener unit. Then do the same for the soft water line that will exit from the
softening unit, back out into the house.
9
. NOTE: The unit will be marked either on the back of the valve body itself with the word
"IN" and "OUT" or the top of the body of the bypass valve assembly with arrows showing the
direction of water flow into and out of the valve. "Out: is the water entering your house after
it has passed through the water softener. BE VERY CAREFUL TO MAKE SURE YOU PLUMB THE
SYSTEM IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION OTHERWISE YOU WILL LOOSE THE RESIN OUT OF THE
TANK INTO YOUR HOUSE LINES!
