ASSEMBLE INLET OUTLET ADAPTORS,
OR PLASTIC BYPASS VALVE

Complete the following steps to assemble the adaptors or
bypass valve.

1. Close the shutoff valve on the house main water pipe,

near the water meter or pressure tank, to turn off the
water. See Fig. 7.

2. Shut off the gas or electric supply to the water heater.

See Fig. 7.

3. Open the highest and lowest water faucets in your-

house. This will let water drain from the pipes. Close
faucets after water has drained.

4. Remove the main cover. See Fig. 8.

Pull outward on two (2) tabs to release.

The salt hole cover remains attached to the main cover
when removed. Set both covers aside so they will not get
scratched or broken.

INSTALL SEARS BYPASS VALVE AND / OR THE
INLET OUTLET THREADED ADAPTORS

NOTE: If you will not install the bypass valve because
you will have a three (3) valve bypass, skip steps 6 &
7, but do steps 5 and 8.
5. Visually check and remove any foreign materials from

the valve inlet and outlet ports. See Fig. 9. Carefully
remove the two large plastic clips (you will use them).
Check to be sure the turbine and turbine support are
firmly in place. See Fig. 10.

BYPASS VALVE:

6. Put a light coating of silicone grease on the o-ring seals

and slide onto the bypass valve.

7. Push the bypass valve into the softener valve as far as it

will go. Snap the two large holding clips into place,
from the top down as shown. See Fig. 11.

CAUTION: Be sure the clips snap firmly into place so
the bypass valve will not pull out. See Fig. 11.

INLET AND OUTLET THREADED ADAPTORS:

8. Put a light coating of silicone grease on the o-ring seals

and slide into the threaded adaptors. Push the adaptors
into the valve inlet and outlet ports, or bypass valve
ports, as far as they will go. Both adaptors are the same
and fit either port. Snap the two large holding clips
into place, as shown. See Fig. 11.

CAUTION: Be sure the clips snap firmly into place so
the tubes will not pull out. See Fig. 11.
