Drain Line Connection; Connect The Brine Line - Culligan 9" Owner's Manual

Drain Line Connection

Refer to Table 3 for drain line length and height limitations under the applicable tank size.
1. Remove 1/2" pipe clamp from the small parts pack included with the control.
2. Route a length of 1/2" drain line from the drain elbow to the drain.
3. Fasten the drain line to the elbow with the clamp.
4. Secure the drain line to prevent its movement during regeneration. When discharging into a
sink, or open floor drain, a loop in the end of the tube will keep it filled with water and will
reduce splashing at the beginning of each regeneration.
NOTE Waste connections or drain outlets shall be designed and constructed to
provide for connection to the sanitary waste system through an air gap of
two pipe diameters or 1 inch, whichever is larger.
NOTE Note: Observe all plumbing codes. Most codes require an anti-siphon device
or air gap at the discharge point. The system and installation must comply
with state and local laws and regulations.

Connect the Brine Line

1. Measure a length of brine line suf-
ficient to reach from the brine tank
to the brine fitting, with no sharp
bends. For easier access to the float
it is recommended to add an extra
four feet (1.3 meters) of length to the
brine line.
2. Cut both ends of the brine line
squarely and cleanly.
3. Slip the white nut over one end of
the tubing and press the plastic insert
into the end of the tubing (Figure
15). Connect to the brine valve and
tighten nut.
4. Remove white nut and plastic insert from the small parts pack.
5. Slip the white nut over one end of the tubing and press the plastic insert into the end of the tub-
ing (Figure 15). Connect to the brine connection on the valve and tighten nut.
