Threaded pipe
. . . .
1. Apply pipe joint compound or Teflon'^ tape to all male pipe threads.
2. Tighten all threaded joints and 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.
CPVC plastic pipe
1. Clean, prime and cement all joints, following the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the
plastic pipe and fittings.
NOTE:
Do not solder with installation tubes attached to single valve bypass. Soldering heat
will damage the valve.

bypass, the ground clamp must be secured in place. If necessary tighten the screw.
Install Valve Drain Hose
1. Measure, cut to needed length and connect the 3/8” green drain line (provided) to the water
softener valve drain fitting. Use a hose clamp to hold the hose in place.
IMPORTANT: If codes require a rigid drain line see “Valve Drain requirements” section.
2. Run the green drain hose or copper tubing to the floor drain. Secure green drain hose. This will
prevent “whipping” during regenerations. See “Air Gap Requirements” section.
Install Salt Storage Tank Overflow Hose
1. Measure, cut to needed length and connect the 3/8” green drain line (provided) to the salt storage
tank overflow elbow and secure in place with a hose clamp.
2. Run the hose to the floor drain, or other suitable drain point no higher than the drain fitting on the
salt storage tank. (This is a gravity drain.) If the tank overfills with water, the excess water flows
to the drain point. Cut the green drain line to the desired length and route neatly out of the way.
IMPORTANT: For proper operation of the water softener, do not connect the water softener
valve drain tubing to the salt storage tank overflow hose.
