Installation

5. CONNECT INLET AND OUTLET PLUMBING

a.

SOLDERED COPPER

(1) Thoroughly clean and flux all joints.
(2) Pull the plastic ‘‘C’’ clips and remove the inlet and

outlet tubes from the valve. Remove o--rings from

the tubes.

DO NOT solder with tubes in the valve.

Soldering heat will damage the valve.

NOTE

: If installing a ground as shown in FIGURE

4A,

place hose clamps on copper tubes before

soldering

(see step 6a).

(3) Make all solder connections. Be sure to keep fit-

tings fully together, and pipes square and straight.

b.

THREADED PIPE

(1) Apply pipe joint compound to all outside pipe

threads.
(2) Tighten all threaded joints.
(3) If soldering to the inlet and outlet tubes, observe

step

a

above.

c.

CPVC PLASTIC PIPE

(1) Clean, prime and cement all joints, following the

manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the plastic

pipe and fittings.
(2) If soldering to the inlet and outlet tubes, observe

step

a

above.

6. COLD WATER PIPE GROUNDING

The house cold water pipe (metal only) is often used

as a ground for the house electrical system. The

3-valve bypass type of installation, shown in FIG-

URE 1, will maintain ground continuity. If you use the

plastic bypass, continuity is broken. To restore the

ground, do either step

a

or

b

following.

a.

Use the included gound clamp kit to make a jump-

er across the inlet and outlet copper tubes, FIGURE

4A.

b.

Install a #4 copper wire across the removed sec-

tion of main water pipe, securely clamping at both

ends, FIGURE 4B (parts not included).

7. INSTALL VALVE DRAIN HOSE

NOTE

: See valve drain options on page 5.

a.

Connect a length of 1/2” I.D. hose (check codes)

to the valve drain elbow, on the controller. Use a

hose clamp to hold the hose in place. Route the

hose out through the notch in the back of the top

cover.

b.

Run the hose to the floor drain, and as typically

shown in FIGURE 1, tie or wire the end to a brick or

other heavy object. This will prevent ‘‘whipping’’ dur-

ing regenerations. Be sure to provide a 1--1/2” mini-

mum air gap, to prevent possible sewer water back-

up.

Note: To ease brine tubing con-

ring and insert into the elbow. Turn

the elbow on and tighten. Then,

back--off up to one turn, as need-

ed.
