• Secure ground clamp to metal pipes.
Measure, cut, and loosely assemble pipe and
fittings from the main water pipe to the inlet and
outlet ports of the water softener valve. Be sure
to keep fittings fully together, and pipes squared
and straight. BE SUREINCOMING HARD WATER
SUPPLYIS DIRECTED TO THE SOFTENER VALVE
INLET PORT.
NOTE: Inlet and outlet are marked on the water
softener valve. Trace the water flow direction to
be sure hard water is to inlet.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to fit, align and support
all plumbing to prevent putting stress on the
water softener valve inlet and outlet. Stress from
misaligned or unsupported plumbing may cause
damage to the valve.
• If making a soldered copper installation, do all
sweat soldering before connecting pipes to the
NPT adapters and bypass valve. Torch heat will
damage plastic parts.
WARNING!
If solder is used to make pipe connection
use only lead free solder and flux to
prevent lead poisoning.
• When turning threaded pipe fittings onto plastic
fittings, use care not to cross-thread.
• Use Teflon Tape on all external pipe threads.
Complete the inlet and outlet plumbing for the
type of pipe you will be using. Secure ground
clamp to metal pipes.
ASSEMBLE THE DRAIN PORT ELBOW
1. Locate the drain elbow that is in the parts bag.
2. Make sure the black O-ring is attached to the
outside of the drain elbow. Also look inside the
drain elbow to be sure the small black flow plug
is inside and hasn't fallen out during shipping.

port until it stops and the black O-ring is
pushed in beyond the slots in the drain port
with the smaller, barbed end pointing out of the
valve.
4. Secure the drain elbow to the valve using the
black "U" clip (also in the parts bag) by sliding
it into the slots in the drain port and into the
grooves in the drain elbow (see figure 13).
