Installation Overview - Brac RESIDENTIAL Series Installation Manual And User's Manual

VII. Installation Overview
Your BRAC SYSTEM requires connection to your home's sanitary drain, and should
only be installed by a licensed plumber. This installation guide is intended for general
information purposes only. Further discussion and diagrams of plumbing particulars, such
as the bypass, cross connection contamination prevention, and backfl ow prevention, are
included in Section VIII – Installation Instructions. For a diagram of the system components,
see fi gure 4 on page 13.
Secondary Tanks: 2 - 75 litre (20 USG) saddle tanks. Positioned on either side of main
tank and connected together with supplied 2" pipe and fi ttings. (fi ttings are supplied for this
confi guration only). See page 5 for dimenions.
Greywater inlet: 2" ABS-DWV fi tting. Water from your showers, bathtubs, and laundry
that is being recycled enters the BRAC SYSTEM here.
Ventilation Grates: These three 1-3/8" grates allow for air to circulate to and from the
sealed upper portion of the tank in order to help cool the pump's motor.
Greywater outlet: A 3/4" male threaded fi tting. Greywater fl ows out of the BRAC SYSTEM
under pressure, to provide water to your toilets, or if allowed, your irrigation.
Fresh water inlet: A 3/4" male threaded fi tting. Fresh potable water enters the BRAC
SYSTEM here to provide a back-up volume of water, should your bathing and laundry
activities periodically fail to provide the minimum volume of water necessary to operate
the system.
The threads of the greywater outlet and fresh water inlet should be wrapped several times
with Tefl on tape before connecting. DO NOT over-tighten these connections and always
use a back-up wrench on the fi tting located inside the tank.
Priming and irrigation faucet: It is recommended that a standard hosebibb be installed
on the greywater outlet piping downstream of the shut-off valve. See Figure 3 on page 11.
This faucet will provide water at pressure for use in your garden and is also used to prime
the system pump, and to release system pressure prior to servicing the pump.
Overfl ow: 2" ABS-DWV drainpipe fi tting. Connects to sewer line. A bypass line and vent
pipe must be connected to the overfl ow pipe, see fi gure 5 on page 14.
Vent: 2" ABS-DWV drainpipe fi tting. The vent must terminate to open air, or be connected
to another vent that terminates to open air.
Cleanout valve: 1" PVC ball valve, female threaded. Used to drain the tank. Will also
connect to the sewer line (if required by local codes), or drains into an open trapped fl oor
drain. To prevent damage during shipping, the ball valve has been removed and placed
in the bag with the transformer and warning tape. It must be reinstalled prior to system
installation.
