prevent leakage.
For systems being installed on surface water applications, the
surface water kit must be installed.

Turn off water supply where the water enters the home.
Plumb the inlet pipe at approximately 48" (122 cm) and the
outlet pipe at approximately 20" (50 cm) off the ground. Install
water shut-off valves on the new plumbing. The terminal ends
of the new plumbing must be a 3/4" MNPT adapter in order to
use the supplied stainless steel flex hoses.
