age the water softener/conditioner and your
household plumbing.
B. Prepare SourceSelect™ bypass valve or yoke
for piping connections.
1. KS5 yoke connection:
a. Appl y O-rings (3-required and
included) to tank meter adapter. Lubri-
cate with silicone (provided).
b. Slip yoke into position over O-rings.
c. Connect yoke to meter adapter using
(4) nuts and bolts (provided).
d. Install drain hose barb. Use Teflon
tape on threads. Hose barb can point up
or down.
e. Install ¾" or 1" mip adapters, or ¾" or 1"
union nipples and valve is ready for pipe
connections.
2. KS5 and KS10 SourceSelect™ bypass
valve connection:
a. Apply O-rings (3-required and
included) to tank meter adapter. Lubri-
cate with silicone (provided).
b. Slip bypass valve into position over
O-rings.
c. Connect bypass valve to meter adapter
using (4) nuts and bolts (provided).
d. Install drain hose barb. Use Teflon
tape on threads. Hose barb can point up
or down.
e. Insert tailpieces through union nuts.
f. Attach tailpieces by soldering to the
inlet and outlet of the plumbing loop.
STEP 2 CONNECT TO DRAIN
Typical drain line runs to a floor drain, washing machine drain, sanitary sewer line with a p-trap, a
sink drain or a sump. CAUTION: Check with all local plumbing codes to insure proper instal-
lation in your area. An air-gap may be required. Be sure to install proper drain line size (see
specifications or Step 2B for sizing).
A. Slide a ½" I.D. tube onto hose barb located
on the back of the valve control body, (you
may want to secure tube with a hose clamp,
not provided). Connect the tubing to the drain
stub out provided with your pre-plumb loop.
Some pre-plumbs may provide an ABS drain-
pipe to run drain line to. CAUTION: Be sure
drain line discharges properly into a drain
to prevent flooding.
B. If the following conditions exist, it is
recommended to increase the drain line
STEP 3 CONNECT BRINE LINE
A. Take off the cap from the brine well and take
out the float assembly.

g. Place rubber gaskets into the union
nuts and thread onto the bypass
valve body. It is not necessary to use
lubricant or sealant on rubber gasket or
union nuts.
h. Place SourceSelect™ valve into the
bypass position by rotating the handles
so they are both perpendicular to the flow
path of the inlet and outlet water stream.
3. KS15HE, KC10, and KC15 (High-Flow)
SourceSelect™ bypass valve connec-
tion:
a. Install drain hose barb before attaching
SourceSelect™ bypass valve. Use
Teflon tape on threads.
b. Insert the rubber gaskets into the
union nuts on the SourceSelect™ by-
pass valve.
c. Thread the bypass onto the valve
control body, hand-tightening both union
nuts. It is not necessary to use lubricant
or sealant on rubber gasket or union nuts.
d. Insert tailpieces through union nuts.
e. Attach tailpieces by soldering to the
inlet and outlet of the plumbing loop.
f. Place rubber gaskets into the union
nuts and thread onto the bypass valve
body. It is not necessary to use lubricant
or sealant on rubber gasket or union nuts.
g. Place SourceSelect™ valve into the
bypass position by rotating the handles
so they are both perpendicular to the flow
path of the inlet and outlet water stream.
tubing from ½" to ¾" I.D.
1. Drain line run is over 20'.
2. Drain line vertical run is over 10 feet high
with incoming water supply pressure of 60
PSI. (You can increase or decrease height
of run 2 feet per 10 PSI. variations in either
direction, i.e. 12 feet vertical run with 70
PSI. or 8 feet vertical run with 50 PSI.).
3. Backwash rates exceed 5 gpm (see
specifications sheet).
B. Place the well into the brine tank and align the
holes in the brine well to the holes in the brine
