Assemble Inlet and Outlet Plumbing

Measure, cut, and loosely assemble pipe and fittings from the main water pipe to the inlet and outlet

ports of the water softener valve. Be sure to keep fittings fully together, and pipes squared and straight.

Be sure hard water supply pipe goes to the water softener valve inlet side.

NOTE:

Inlet and outlet arc marked on the water softener valve. Trace the water flow direction

to be sure hard water is to inlet.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to fit, align and support all plumbing to prevent putting stress on the water

softener valve inlet and outlet. Undue stress from misaligned or unsupported

plumbing may cause damage to the valve.

Connect Inlet and Outlet Plumbing

death or electrical shock.

2. Make all solder connections.

NOTE:

Do not solder with installation tubes attached to single valve bypass. Soldering heat

will damage the valve.

IMPORTANT: When installing the copper tubes and ground clamp assembly to the single valve

bypass, the ground clamp must be secured in place. If necessary tighten the screw.
