Congratulations on your purchase of a FloodStop by OnSite PRO
electronic water leak detection and automatic water shut-off kit for
water heaters. This product has been designed to give you years of
reliable service and minimize home water damage by detecting water leaks and
automatically shutting off the water supply.
To ensure proper installation and to maximize the performance of your
FloodStop water leak detection system, please read this manual
thoroughly.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING:
If a leak is detected, the FloodStop Valve will shut off the water going to the
water heater. This will stop the continuous flow of water from the water supply
to the water heater. However, all or some of the water that is already in the water
heater may still leak out onto the floor.
NOTE: This unit was shipped with an installation and operating manual that
contains important information about its operation. If you are
installing this unit for use by others, we recommend you leave this manual – or a
copy of it – with the user.

STOP: You may need to purchase additional fittings to install the FloodStop Valve. If you
are not sure how to install the FloodStop Valve to your existing water line, we recom-
mend that you contact a licensed Plumber.
Installation
1. Shut off main water supply valve.
Step 4 instructs you to install the FloodStop Valve
between the rigid water line coming off the manual
cold water valve and the water heater. Most rigid
lines will be copper. Evaluate your line and deter-
mine which size adapter fitting you will need. Then
determine what size union you will need between
the FloodStop Valve and the water heater. Note that
in some cases you can use a flexible or corrugated
water heater connector in place of a union.
CAUTION: Make sure the FloodStop Valve is not
connected to the adaptor fitting(s) when soldering.
2. Open faucet nearest water heater to relieve
water pressure.
3. Shut off the manual cold water valve that supplies
water to the water heater. Note that the top of the
water heater will usually be marked "Cold" or "Inlet"
at the point where the cold water line is connected.

4. Position the FloodStop Valve so that the arrow on the
side of the valve is pointing to the water heater. Install
the FloodStop Valve between the rigid water line
coming from the manual cold water valve and the
water heater.
NOTE: The FloodStop Valve should be installed within 2
feet of the water heater so that the Leak Sensor can lay
flat on the floor.
5. Mount the FloodStop Control Panel in an easily
5.
accessible location within 30 inches of the FloodStop
Valve. You may mount the panel using the screws and
anchors or Hook & Loop Mounting Pad provided. When
using the Hook & Loop Mounting Pad, make sure the
adhesive is put on a clean, dry surface.
NOTE: Depending on the location you pick, and the distance
between the Control Panel and the FloodStop Valve, you
may need to purchase a FloodStop Control Panel to Valve
Extension Wire, Model # CEXT-09 (available where you
purchased your FloodStop System).
6. With the contacts of the wire harness connector facing 6.
you, plug the 6-pin connector end of the Wire Harness
into the bottom of the Control Panel.

7. Take the short round wire coming from the Control
Panel and plug it into the wire coming from the
FloodStop Valve. Make sure the arrow on the
side of each plug lines up with each other.
NOTE: The Leak Sensor comes with a paper sleeve. If the
Leak Sensor is going to be placed in a metal water heater
pan, make sure you leave the paper sleeve on. If the Leak
Sensor makes contact with metal, it will signal the
FloodStop Valve to shut off. The paper sleeve acts as a
barrier between the Leak Sensor and the metal. When the
paper sleeve becomes wet, it will signal the FloodStop Valve
to shut off. If the Leak Sensor will not be contacting metal,
you may remove the paper sleeve.
8. Connect plug on end of long flat wire coming from
8.
Control Panel to either set of prongs on the Leak
Sensor, pushing until plug snaps in place. Then place
Leak Sensor on the floor next to the water heater,
preferably on the side that is in line with the floor drain.
NOTE: Additional Leak Sensors can be connected together
for added protection. For additional Leak Sensors, pur-
chase FloodStop Water Leak Sensor, Model # XS-01 (avail-
able where you purchased your FloodStop System).
CAUTION: Do not place Leak Sensor or cord in a walk way
or other location that may cause someone to trip and fall.
