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 softener valve inlet side.
Inlet and outlet are marked on the valve. Trace the water flow direction to be sure.
NOTE:
IMPORTANT: Be sure to fit, align and support all plumbing to prevent putting stress on the softener
valve inlet and outlet. Undue stress from misaligned or unsupported plumbing may
cause damage to the valve.
Complete the inlet and outlet plumbing for the type of pipe as shown below.
1. Thoroughly clean 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 adaptors and valve.
