• Align the upper basket with the riser pipe and slowly lower the
control valve onto the riser pipe, using a twisting motion.
• Align the control valve with the tank. Push down on the control
valve and continue to turn it clockwise until the valve o-ring
seals against the tank.
6. Turn Off the Water and Drain the Plumbing
• Turn off the water at the meter or the pressure tank.
• To drain the plumbing system, open all faucets in the house and
flush the toilets. The water will drain out of the lowest faucet or
outlet.
• Do not sweat pipes with water in them or while attached to the
system; steam will damage the plastic parts in the valve.
• Do not point the soldering torch directly at the mineral tank or
control valve. These composite materials will last a lifetime, but
cannot withstand the intense heat from a torch.
• Avoid short connections of pipe between the system and the
water heater. If you can’t avoid a short connection, move the
system to another location. As a last resort, install a heat trap or
check valve. If this causes “water hammer”, install a water
hammer suppressor.
7. Provide Untreated Water for Irrigation or
Outdoor Watering
• If available, run an untreated water line to outside faucet or
provide a hose connection on untreated line prior to system.
8. Install the Pipe Connector (Yoke) to the
Bypass Valve
• Once the plumbing is complete, connect the yoke to the bypass
valve (see figure 2).
• Support all plumbing connected to the yoke.
• Connect the raw water supply to the inlet pipe connection of the
yoke. When looking at the front of the system, the inlet is the
pipe connection on the right side of the valve (see figure 3). The
arrow molded into valve indicates the direction of flow.
• Connect the treated water pipe to the outlet pipe connection on
the yoke. When looking at the front of the system, the outlet is
the pipe connection on the left side of the valve (see figure 3).
The arrow molded into the valve indicates the direction of flow.

Helpful Tip: This procedure will
allow air to enter the plumbing
system.
!
Important Note: Applicable for
copper plumbing installations.
!
Important Note: Short connec-
tions of pipe may allow hot water
to back up into the system.
!
Important Note: The bypass valve
is not designed to withstand heat
from soldering or twisting from
the attached threaded connec-
tions.
!
Important Note: Too much weight
on the plumbing connections will
cause a leak.
