Soldered copper
1. Thoroughly cle an and apply solder flux to all joints.
2. Make all solder connections.
NOTE: Do not solder with plumbing attached to installation adaptors and single valve
bypass. Soldering heat will damage the valve and adaptors.
IMPORTANT: Secure ground clamp to metal pipes.
Threaded pipe
1. Apply pipe joint compound or Teflon
R
tape to all male pipe threads.
2. Tighten all threaded joints and make all solder connections.
IMPORTANT: Secure ground clamp to metal pipes.
CPVC plastic pipe

Install Valve Drain Hose
1. Measure, cut to needed length and connect the 3/8” drain line (provided) to the water softener
valve drain fitting. Use a hose clamp to hold the hose in place.
IMPORTANT: If codes require a rigid drain line see “Valve Drain requirements” section.
2. Run the drain hose or copper tubing to the floor dr ain. Secure drain hose. This will prevent
‘‘whipping’’ during regenerations. See “Air Gap Requirements” section.
