Drain Line Flow Control
The drain line flow control (DLFC) requires assembly
(Figure 5) .
1 . Locate parts and a roll of plumber's tape .The plumbing
adapters should be removed (Figure 7 Connector
Assembly) .
2 . Wrap the tape over threads of the flow control.
3 . Screw the flow control and the 90° elbow together. Hand
tighten .
4 . Place the ball into the flow control and insert the assembly
into the drain line opening .
5 . Push the assembly in and secure with the drain line clip .

Water Line Connection
A bypass valve system is included and will be installed on the
water conditioning system . Bypass valves isolate the softener
from the water system and allow unconditioned water to be
used . Service or routine maintenance procedures may also
require that the system is bypassed .
IMPORTANT: The bypass valve is shipped to you in the
bypass position (Figure 6 Bypass Operation). When the
valve is in bypass water will not enter the softening tank.
The water in the building will not be treated. Figure 6
Bypass Operation, shows the handles in the service
position.
Once you have selected your location check the direction of
the waterflow in the main pipe. Figure 6 Bypass Operation can
be used to plan the new plumbing assembly .
Inspect the main water pipe . Write down the type of pipe
(copper, plastic, galvanized etc .) . Record the size of the pipe .
Plastic style pipes usually have the size printed on the outside .
Other pipes can be measured for the outside diameter and
converted into the pipe size at the store . Do not use pipe that is
smaller than the main water pipe .
The bypass has two fittings that connect to the plumbing.
These connections are threaded 1" NPT .
If the main plumbing is galvanized pipe and you are installing
copper pipe, then you must use dielectric insulating connectors
between the two styles of pipe .
Place the two tanks in position . The design of the tank does not
allow for bad alignment of the connections . You may ask your
supply store about flexable connections.
Take measurements and create a drawing of your installation .
Include pipe lengths and elbows that are needed . If the water
flow is from right to left you will need to cross the plumbing to
the softener . Take the drawing to your plumbing supply store .
Consult with their expert for installation ideas and suggestions .
Assemble the plumbing .
Connector
Assembly
Drain Line Clip
The bypass assembly connects to the water system by means
of a connector assembly . The connector is secured to the
plumbing and then inserted into the bypass . A clip is used to
hold it in place .
Before inserting the connector:
Firmly insert connector into bypass . Press locking clip into
position . Make certain the clip is fully engaged .
WARNING:
If pipes will be sweat soldered, do not
connect adapters to the bypass until the
pipes have cooled.

WARNING:
The inlet water must be connected to the
inlet port of the valve. When replacing
non-Omni Water valves, it is possible that
the inlet and outlet plumbing is installed
in a reversed position. Be certain the inlet
connection on the valve is connected to the
incoming water fitting from the water supply.
Do not solder pipes with lead-based solder.
WARNING:
Do not use petroleum grease on gaskets
when connecting bypass plumbing. Use
only 100% silicone grease products when
installing any plastic valve. Non-silicone
grease may cause plastic components to fail
over time.

• Check that all O-rings are in place and not damaged .
• O-rings are pre-lubricated . Sliding surfaces should be
lubricated with 100% silicone grease .
