DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE SCREWS. The bypass valve
will have some up and down movement, this is
normal. The clips simply hold the connection fittings
together and the screws only need tightened enough to
keep the clips in place. Further tightening will not stop
leaks and tightening too much can damage the system,
which will not be covered under warranty. The meter
assembly is expensive to replace, so extra care is
recommended on these systems.
VERIFY FLOW DIRECTION. Untreated water will enter
the system on the side marked with an arrow pointing
toward the front of the control head (on both the bypass
valve and the control head itself). Treated water will exit the system on the side
marked with an arrow pointing away from the front of the control head (on both the
bypass valve and the control head itself).
CORRECT INLET/OUTLET CONNECTIONS ARE VITAL. Improper flow direction will
prevent proper operation and can damage your system and your plumbing. THE
DIRECTION OF FLOW CAN NOT BE CHANGED. Turning the bypass upside down will
not change the direction of the water flow.

FOR THREADED CONNECTIONS, DO NOT TIGHTEN THE ADAPTERS INTO FITTINGS
WHILE THEY ARE CONNECTED TO THE CONTROL HEAD. Disconnect the bypass or
yoke fitting, and connect the adapter using a high quality thread sealant (pipe joint
compound or Teflon/PTFE tape), and replace.
WHEN INSTALLED THE BYPASS VALVE CAN MOVE UP AND DOWN, THIS IS NORMAL.
It is recommended to keep the bypass in the service
position when making plumbing connections and turn
it to bypass when first turning the water back on.
Img 15 shows the bypass position. In bypass position the
handles will be turned 90-degrees and be perpendicular
to the inlet and outlet fittings.
WHEN SOLDERING DO NOT SOLDER DIRECTLY TO THE
INCLUDED CONNECTION OR CLOSE TO THE CONTROL
CONTROL HEAD. First solder a short (min 3-inch [7.6-
cm]) piece of copper pipe onto the adapters, away from
the valve, before connecting the adapter to the bypass or
yoke fitting.
