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 old it in
place.
Before inserting the connector:
• 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.
Firmly insert connector into bypass. Press locking clip into position. Make certain the clip is fully
engaged.
NOTE: Before turning on the water to the valve, rotate the two handles on the bypass
valve 2-3 times. This will help seat O-rings and prevent leaking.
To remove a clip:
1. Turn off water and release water pressure at the valve.
2. Push the water line connectors into the bypass and valve. This will help release O-rings that
may have seated in place.
3. Remove the clip by inserting a flat blade under the top center of the clip and lifting (prying up)
(Figure 7 Connector Assembly).
WARNING : Do not use pliers to remove a clip. It is likely the clip will break.
