Installation Instructions
COMPLETE INLET AND OUTLET PLUMBING
1. Loosely assemble any pipe and fittings needed from
the main water supply to the inlet and outlet ports of
the Central Water Filtration System valve.
IMPORTANT:
= Be sure to fit, align and support all plumbing to pre-
vent putting stress on the Central Water Filtration
System valve inlet and outlet. Undue stress from
misaligned or unsupported plumbing may cause
damage to the valve.
= Be sure to keep fittings fully together, and pipes
squared and straight.
= Be sure incoming water supply pipe goes to the
Central Water Filtration System valve INLET side.
Inlet and outlet are marked on the valve. Trace the
water flow direction to be sure.
2. Complete the inlet and outlet plumbing for the type
of pipe as described below:
Soldered Copper
1. Thoroughly clean and apply solder flux to all joints.
2. Make all solder connections.
IMPORTANT: Do not solder with plumbing attached to
installation Adapters and single valve
bypass. Soldering heat will damage the
Adapters and valve.
Threaded Pipe
1. Apply pipe joint compound or Teflon® tape to all
male pipe threads.
2. Tighten all threaded joints and make all solder con-
nections.
CPVC Plastic Pipe
1. Clean, prime and cement all joints, following the
manufacturer's instructions supplied with the plastic
pipe and fittings.
Other, including PEX (Crosslinked
Polyethylene)

Electrical Shock Hazard
Prior to installation on metallic plumbing,
securely install two grounding clamps and a
#4 copper wire per installation instructions.
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in death or electrical shock.
GROUNDING INFORMATION
(for Installations on Metal Pipe)
The house main incoming water pipe is often used to
ground electrical outlets in the home. Grounding pro-
tects you from electrical shock. Installing the central
water filtration system with a plastic bypass valve will
break this ground. Before beginning installation, pur-
chase and securely install two grounding clamps and a
#4 copper wire across the location where the central
water filtration system will be, tightly clamping it at both
ends, as shown in Figure 10.
NOTE: Check local plumbing and electrical codes
for proper installation of the ground wire.
The installation must conform to them. In
Massachusetts, plumbing codes of
Massachusetts shall be conformed to.
Consult with your licensed plumber.
