7. Add a small amount of silicone grease or vegetable cooking oil to the tank threads and screw on
Fleck 7000 control valve carefully. Do not use pipe-joint compound, Teflon tape, or Vaseline or
other petroleum greases to lubricate tank threads.
8. See how the Fleck by-pass is connected. Note that Items 2 in Fig 3 below are the pipe
connectors and the other end is what gets attached to the control valve. Items 3 are the red
clips that hold the pipe connectors to the by-pass valve - we include two extra red clips with the
pipe connector kit. Your Fleck 7000 is usually shipped in the by-pass position.

9. Lubricate the by-pass valve o-rings with some vegetable oil or silicone grease and connect the
bypass assembly to the Fleck 7000 control by sliding the bypass valve firmly into the body of the
Fleck 7000. Once bypass is in far enough, you will be able to insert the red connector clips.
10. Next lubricate the end-connectors (#2 in Fig 3) with some silicone grease or vegetable cooking
oil and insert them into the bypass valve and then insert the red clips (#3).
11. Note that the Fleck 7000 is usually shipped in the bypass position. There is a bypass valve knob
on both the inlet and the outlet (Fig 3 #1). You can easily tell if it is in bypass because the two
holes on the bypass knob will be in the vertical position. If the valve is in the Service position (by
which is the filtering position or 'in service' position) the holes will be in the horizontal position.
Make sure both sides are in the by-pass position.
