Bypass Valve Installation

Refer to Figure 14 and the instructions below to connect the meter, bypass valve, and interconnecting
pipe.
1. All HE units are equipped with a Soft-Minder
of the control valve. The meter body fits in the same space as the coupling between the control
valve and the bypass. Make sure the arrow on the flow meter is pointing in the direction of the
flow.
2. The bypass valve connects directly to the control valve with the meter and coupling and two
assembly pins. Lubricate all O-rings on the couplings/meter with silicone lubricant.
Coupling
NOTE The new Low Flow Meter has a white dot on the connection for the wire
harness.
NOTE If the ground from the electrical panel or breaker box to the water meter or
underground copper pipe is tied to the copper water lines and these lines
are cut during installation of the bypass valve, an approved grounding strap
must be used between the two lines that have been cut in order to maintain
continuity. The length of the grounding strap will depend upon the number
of units being installed. In all cases where metal pipe was originally used
and is later interrupted by the bypass valve to maintain proper metallic pipe
bonding, an approved ground clamp c/w not less than #6 copper conductor
must be used for continuity. Check your local electrical code for the correct
clamp and cable size.
