Installation Instructions - Hellenbrand ProMate-6.0 Owner's Manual

(All electrical & plumbing should be done in accordance to all local codes)
CAUTION:
• Do not use vaseline, oils or other hydrocarbon lubricants or
spray silicone anywhere. A silicon lubricant may be used
on black o-rings but is not necessary. Avoid any type of
lubricants, including silicone, on red or clear lip seals.
• Do not use paste or other sealants on threads. Only teflon
tape may be used on threads. Teflon tape is not necessary
on the nut connection or caps because of o-ring seals.
• The pipe size for the drain line should be a minimum of 3/4".
Backwash flow rates in excess of 7 gpm or length in excess
of 20' require 1" drain line.
1. Place the filter where you want to install it, making sure it is
on a clean, level and firm base.
2. Do all necessary plumbing (inlet to inlet, outlet to outlet
and drain line to drain). The control valve, fittings and/
or bypass are designed to accommodate minor plumbing
misalignments but are not designed to support the weight
of a system or the plumbing.
3. When assembling the installation fitting package (inlet and
outlet), connect the fitting to the plumbing system first and
then attach the nut, split ring and o-ring. Heat from solder-
ing or solvent cements may damage the nut, split ring or
o-ring. Solder joints should be cool and solvent cements
should be set before installing the nut, split ring and o-ring.
Avoid getting primer and solvent cement on any part of the
o-rings, split rings, bypass valve or control valve.

4. A jumper ground wire should be installed between the
inlet and outlet pipe whenever the metallic continuity of
a water distribution piping system is interrupted. Install
grounding strap on metal pipes.
5. The drain connection may be made using either 3/4" female
or 1" female adapter. If soldering, joints near the drain must
be done prior to connecting the drain line flow control fitting.
Leave at least 6" between the drain line control fitting and
solder joints when soldering pipes that are connected on
the drain line control fitting. Failure to do this could cause
interior damage to the drain line flow control fitting.
In all cases where an overflow could result in water damage
for various reasons, this overflow protection must be used.
Do not connect the tubing to the drain line on the control valve
discharge line and do not run this line above the overflow
elbow height at any point. Provide air gap.
