Plumbing Installation Guide
Connecting Service Lines
Water can be supplied to the QickPort by 3/4" or 1" Zurn PEX tubing.
These inlet connections are straight pipe thread and require specific
Zurn fittings to seal properly.
Connect the supply tubing to the appropriate header using one of the
approved Zurn QickPort inlet/outlet connections as specified in the
Zurn PEX product catalog.
The 1" outlets can be fitted with a crimp x swivel or nut-ring-cone
connector. These can then be used to supply high flow rate fixtures
such as whirlpool baths, hose bibbs, etc. The unused 1" outlets
need to be sealed using a 1" brass cap (Part No. QTC5FBG).
Important:
Standard NPT fittings will not seal on these connections.
These connections do not require pipe thread sealant, and none
should be used as adverse effects may result. ALL connections to
the manifold use a rubber or plastic cone seal.
