Water Line Connection
Once you have selected your location check the direction of the water flow in the main pipe.
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 out-
side diameter and converted into the pipe size at the store. Do not use pipe that is smaller than the main water
pipe.
If the main plumbing is galvanized pipe and you are installingcopper pipe, then you must use dielectric insulating
connectors between the two styles of pipe
WARNING: If pipes will be sweat soldered, do not connect adapters to the bypass until
the pipes have cooled.
IMPORTANT: 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.
WARNING : The inlet water must be connected to the inlet port of the valve. When
replacing a water valve, 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.
