ASSEMBLE INLET OUTLET ADAPTORS,

OR SINGLE 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.

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.

the tubes will not pull out. See Fig. 11.
