Valve Assembly
– The valve assembly can be put together before
proceeding.
1. Install standpipe into hole in trough. Rubber washer is to be
on inside of trough. Tighten nut hand tight to allow for
adjustment after valve assembly is installed.
2. Feed hose up through standpipe and attach to valve bracket.
The hose may be shortened if necessary. Tighten the hose
clamp securely to prevent leaks.
3. The lower front peg on valve bracket should be inserted into
hole on standpipe first. Compress valve clip to snap in
opposite hole on standpipe.
4. Remove pin from valve assembly.
5. Install float assembly on valve assembly using previously
removed pin.
6. Rotate standpipe in trough until center of float aligns with
center of trough. DO NOT allow float to be too close to cover
when installed as this may hamper valve performance.
7. Tighten standpipe nut hand tight plus one-quarter turn. Use no
joint compound for this fitting.
J. Cable Heater – Uncoil cable heater and loop around the valve.
Attach the
remaining part of the cable heater to the water supply, as far down
the riser tube as possible with the cable twist ties provided. This heater is
water tight, but should not be immersed in water. Heater may cross over
itself, but should not be tightened at those locations.
CAUTION: Installation must not cause any strain on heater
wiring connections. Avoid heater damage caused by hot spots
due to its leads lying too close to each other. Also, do not wrap
additional insulation around heater.
K.
Valve Frame and Cover
– (Omni 3 & 5) Before
installing the valve chamber frame, the weather seal
must be installed on the frame (see diagram). The seal
is installed by removing the paper backing from the
adhesive side and then starting at the midpoint of the
frame leg; attach the seal to the frame. Work your way
around the frame with the seal as close to the inside edge
as possible and then up the other leg to the halfway point.
At this time cut any extra foam seal as needed then repeat
for other side. The frame can then be attached to the casing using the screws and nuts provided in parts bag. A
washer should be used on the head of the screw as well as under the nut. Tighten securely.
