Assemble Inlet and Outlet Plumbing
Install the provided grounding clamp before cutting into metallic main water piping. It should be
installed on two parallel and vertical pipes (inlet and outlet) spaced so as to align with the softener
connections. In some new installa tions where vertical pipes are not yet available, a temporary bond
will need to be established prior to cutting into the water piping. Contact a qualified electrician for
assistance.
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 sure hard water supply pipe goes to the water sof tener valve inlet side.
NOTE: Inlet and outlet are marked on the water softener valve.Trace the water flowdirection
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. Undue stress from misaligned or unsupported
plumbing may cause damage to the valve.
