The bypass valve connects directly
to the control valve with a pair of
couplings and two assembly pins
(Figure16).Lubricateallo-rings

controls, the meter replaces the
coupling on the outlet side of the
control.Themeterbodytsin
the same space as the coupling
between the control valve and the
bypass. Make sure that the arrow

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.
To bypass, turn the blue knob clockwise (see directional arrow on end of knob) until the knob
stopsasshown.DONOT

A screwdriver shank may be
used in the slot as a lever for
extra turning force if needed.
