6. Locate water line or pipe to be cut and make sure of direction of water flow.
CAUTION:
Do not cross-connect or plumb backwards. Make sure of the direction of water flow from cut pipe to be connected.
7. Plumb INLET and OUTLET connections to and from the system.**
• It is highly recommended to use stainless steel corrugated flexible water connectors, PEX or PVC Sch 40.
• Be sure the incoming hard water supply is directed to the INLET port of the valve.
• The valve body of the control is marked with arrows indicating the proper flow direction.
• Connections are illustrated below.
** Highly Recommended:
•
Stainless steel corrugated flexible water connectors, PEX or PVC Sch 40 have a flexible capability that will assist
with the installation where the rough and finish measurements are slightly off.
• Flexible connections may prevent tank and valve issues where rigid or hard pipe create problems over time
where the installed system is on a bottom or top floor of a home and/or where the home location is on the top
or the bottom of a hill where head pressure or pressure variances will occur or wherever pressure variations
cause tank to flex or move.
• Flexible connections are recommended where high pressure, pressure surges/spikes or pressure variations occur
CAUTION: An operating and maintained pressure reducing valve (PRV) may be required on the main water line and
prior to the system to regualte pressure. If applicable, a check valve on the main supply before the system
or a check valve on the outlet side of the the system (water heater will require expansion tank) to prevent
backflow and excessive head pressure may be required.
WARNING: Any pressure on the system exceeding, surging or spiking above 75 psi and any negative pressure due to
vacuum break voids the warranty.

CAUTION: If making a soldered copper installation, do all sweat soldering before connecting
pipes to the bypass valve. Torch heat will damage plastic parts.
** It is highly recommended to use stainless steel corrugated flexible water connectors.
CAUTION: When turning threaded pipe fittings onto plastic fittings, use care not to
cross-thread, strip threads and/or over-tighten.
CAUTION: Use Teflon tape only on all external pipe threads. Do not use pipe joint compound.
CAUTION: Support inlet and outlet plumbing in some manner (use pipe hangers) to keep
the weight off of the valve fittings.
