Installation Guide – Sediment Filter
Pre-Installation
1.
The maximum water temperature in contact with the filter should not exceed 100°F (38°C) at 40 PSI.
2.
The maximum water pressure within the filter should not exceed 150 PSI at 73°F (23°C). Colder temperatures reduce the
maximum operating pressure.
3.
The Sediment Filter warranty does not cover any defects that may arise from use with non-potable water, chemicals or
other fluids.
4.
Lubricants used on O-rings can contain chemicals that are not compatible with filter components.
Silicone grease (DOW
111) should be the only lubricant used on O-rings.
5.
Adhere to all local and state codes, laws, and regulations when installing the filter.
Installation
1.
Remove the filter bowl (E) and the filter cap O-ring (D) from the PVC Filter Cap (A)
.
2.
The filter cap can be used with either 1 in. or 1-1/4 in. PVC pipe. If using with 1 in. PVC pipes, prime and glue the inside of
the filter cap (A) inlet and outlet as well as the outside of the PVC pipes. Insert the pipe directly into the filter cap and allow
the glue to set. If using with 1-1/4 in. PVC pipes, prime and glue the outside of the filter cap (A) inlet and outlet as well as
the inside of 1-1/4 in. PVC adapters. Slip the adapters over the filter cap inlet and outlet, then connect the appropriate pipes
to the adapters.
3.
Push the 100 mesh filter screen (C) into the bottom of the filter cap (A).
4.
Place the filter cap O-ring (D) on top of the filter bowl (E). It will fit around the raised lip.
5.
Thread the filter bowl (E) into the filter cap (A). Ensure the O-ring (D) stays in place.
6.
Thread the flush valve (F) on to the bottom of the filter bowl (E). FINGER TIGHTEN ONLY PLUS 1 or 2 TURNS.

IMPORTANT:
The use of quality pipe joint compound approved for use with PVC is recommended. If using P.T.F.E. thread
seal tape, uneven and/or over application of tape may result in flush valve failure due to stress cracking in all types of
PVC/plastic fittings and valves.
NOTE:
It is recommended that the filter bowl be removed from the PVC body prior to the gluing process, as any excess glue
that comes in contact with the filter bowl will cause damage and void the warranty.
NOTE:
The filter should be installed in a location that protects it from damage. Potential filter damage considerations should
include impact, freeze, excessive heat, sunlight, chemical contact and water-hammer.

IMPORTANT:
HAND TIGHTEN ONLY. Do not use thread tape or pipe dope on this connection! The O-ring creates the seal.
IMPORTANT:
Be sure the arrow on the top cap follows the flow of water.
