connected i.e. pump port must go to pump discharge, waste port must go
to the waste line and return port must go to the pool return.

flange and assemble the screws and nuts with the hex key. Tighten clamp
screws firmly and visually check the valve tank and clamp assembly to
insure that the joint is correctly assembled.
