SECURE THE ADAPTOR ELBOW
Snap the two large adaptor clips into place,from the top down
(see top illustration opposite). Be sure they snap firmly into
place so that the adaptors will not pull out. Pull on the adaptors
to ensure a tight fit has been achieved.
INLET AND OUTLET CONNECTIONS
(For unvented or direct systems refer to page 5). Use the
connecting hoses provided with the elbow unions to make the
inlet and outlet connections. Fit the hose gaskets into the ends
of the inlet/outlet hoses.
DRAIN OUTLET/OVERFLOW CONNECTION
Insert the rubber grommet into the overflow socket situated
2/3 of the way up the rear of the water softener cabinet.
Only insert the overflow adaptor using the silicone grease
provided once the grommet is secure. Cut two lengths of hose
as required to make the drain and overflow connections.
Fit one length of hose onto the overflow adaptor and one
length onto the drain line adaptor. Turn the drain line adaptor
so that a straight connection can be made. The drain hose and
overflow hose must be secured with the supplied metal clamps
(see bottom illustration opposite). Pass the overflow hose
through a hole in an outside wall so that its end can be seen.
The drain hose may be connected directly into an open drain
or via the waste outlet similar to a washing machine. The drain
and overflow must be kept straight and not kinked.
Installation of Tapworks Softener models Ultra 9, AD11 & AD 15
On some tight fitting installations it may be a
benefit to make all connections up before
inserting the elbow into the valve ports.
