TEFLON® TAPE IS THE ONLY SEALANT TO BE USED ON THE 1” NPT CONNECTOR
YOKES AND DRAIN FITTINGS.
The system’s control valve is connected to your incoming and outgoing water lines by way
of a bypass assembly with 1”NPT threaded fittings. This assembly is composed of the
bypass valve and two 1”NPT connector yokes. Locate the inlet and outlet ports on the back
of the control valve. Note that the inlet and outlet are marked with arrows indicating the
correct direction of water flow. When you are looking at the back of the control valve, the
inlet is on the left and the outlet is on the right. Check the corresponding markings on the
bypass to ensure the correct direction of water flow and attach the bypass valve to the
control valve. The in and out arrows on the bypass should be pointing the same direction as
the in and out arrows on the outside of the control valve.
BE VERY CAREFUL TO MAKE SURE YOU PLUMB THE SYSTEM IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
The bypass assembly is secured to the control valve using threaded fittings. Thread sealant
tape should not be used on these threads. The seal is made by way of o-rings. To attach
the bypass to the control valve, simply thread the 2 nuts on the bypass onto the valve until
the nuts bottom out on the valve body. Do not overtighten - it is normal for some “play” to
exist when the bypass assembly is properly seated. This allows for minor misalignment of
the piping connections and relieves stress on the valve. The 1” NPT connector yokes are
connected to the bypass in the same manner (they are normally shipped to you pre-
connected to the bypass, but you can separate them to make the plumbing to your main
water lines easier if you want).
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU REMOVE THE BYPASS ASSEMBLY FROM THE
CONTROL VALVE BEFORE MAKING THESE FINAL CONNECTIONS AS YOU MAY
INADVERTENTLY APPLY TOO MUCH PRESSURE ON THE VALVE WHILE SECURING THE
ADAPTERS, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE VALVE BODY.
You will need to purchase the appropriate NPT threaded fittings to connect the connector
yokes to the material and size of your main inlet and outlet water lines.
