equipment setup
General
When placing the unit into service, pay attention to the
following guidelines:
• Make sure power to the unit is off.
• Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
• Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
electrIcal
Ensure that the line voltage corresponds to the stated
voltage on the units specification label. Make sure that
the plug on the power cord from the system and the
outlet match. For proper operation, and to ensure the
highest quality water from the system, make sure that
the system is not connected to a switched electrical
outlet.
plUmbInG
nOte: this unit is designed to use tap water not
to exceed 104°F (40°C).
The UFC-216 uses the following connections (Figure 1):
• Water Inlet 1/2” NPT
• Permeate (Product Water) 1/2” NPT
• Drain 1/2” NPT
InstallatIOn
When making a plumbing connection to the system,
remember to use a back-up wrench on the supporting
plumbing. Always use a good quality, approved, pipe
sealant or thread seal tape on pipe threads. Be careful
not to get the pipe sealant inside the pipe when making
the connections.
Do not over tighten the connections. It is recommend-
ed that plastic fittings be used when connecting to the
plastic connections of the system. This will reduce the
possibility of cracking the connections due to overtight-
ening.
If soldered plumbing is used, do not apply heat to, or
near, the filtration system. The use of union (o-ring
seal) connections is highly recommended for ease of
installation and future servicing.
