Include an outlet water isolation valve (user supplied) in the outlet
line and close it. Also install an outlet pressure gauge in this line.
Step 13 -
Construct a bypass plumbing line around the
system. Include a bypass valve (user supplied) in the bypass
line and close it.
Step 14 -
Remove ½" NPT system drain port plug (item #6
and #7) from filter housing counterclockwise.
Construct a drain line with shut off valve using 1/2" PVC plumbing
(user supplied) so the system can be drained of water during
filter cartridge changes. Drain line must route to a drain recep-
tacle (i.e., floor drain or drain pipe) where drain water will not
cause personal injury or property damage. Close the drain valve.
Follow all local building codes for drain line construction. Leave
an air gap of at least 4" at the end of the drain line. See page 12
Installation Diagrams for additional information.
Step 15 -
Using drill and 3/8 drill bit, anchor system to floor
with mounting hardware provided. If mounting surface is other
than concrete, installer must provide appropriate mounting hardware.
