PIPING ASSEMBLY NOTES AND CAUTIONS:

BE SURE to close the main water supply valve before beginning.

BE SURE to plumb so hard water flows to the valve inlet fitting.

CAUTION: When soldering, make sub---assemblies as needed to prevent soldering heat damage to the

conditioner valve or bypass valve. Be sure soldered piping has cooled before connecting to the condition-

er.

Use Teflon tape or pipe joint compound on external pipe threads.

Lubricate o---ring seals with high quality silicone grease.

Looking at the illustrations on page 9, and observing the notes above, run piping from the main water sup-

ply pipe to the valve inlet. Then, run return piping from the valve outlet to the supply pipe. Be sure to include

a 3---valve bypass, or use one of the optional bypass valves.

Note: When working with soldered copper, be sure to observe the caution above to avoid damage to non---me-

tallic parts.

Important: Support in and out piping in an acceptable manner, to prevent weight stress on the conditioner

valve.

Move the brine tank assembly into position nearby the resin tank. Enough tubing is included to allow locating

the tank up to 10 ' away from the resin tank (Figure 6).

3a.

Connect Tubing --- Model PA071: Thread the brine tube through the hole of the brine tank sidewall. Fasten

tubing to the nozzle assembly (Figure 6) using the compression nut---ferrule, tightening securely, by hand only.

3b.

Connect Tubing --- All other models: Verify that the proper nozzle & venturi are installed in nozzle assembly.

If not, replace with correct pair.

¡ Install two elbows (in separate parts bag with the brine tank) into the top and bottom of the nozzle assem-

bly (Figure 6).

¢ Connect tubing from the bottom of the nozzle assembly, to the top adaptor on the front of the condition-

er valve assembly. Use a tubing insert and compression nut (tighten securely) as shown in the inset drawing.

£ Do the same to connect tubing from the top of the nozzle, to the bottom check valve fitting on the front

of the conditioner valve assembly.
