Plumbing Connections
General Instructions
• Follow local plumbing & electrical codes. Failure to do so may result in your having to redo the installation at your expense.
• Take the time to make a clean, professional looking installation. Use ux and solder sparingly when making sweat
connections, and avoid excessive use of pipe compound. When using galvanized pipe, clean out excess cutting oil and metal
chips before assembly. Foreign objects, if allowed to enter the control valve, can cause operating problems.
• The main water supply line may then be reopened so that hard water will be available to the household throughout the
remainder of the installation process. Set the Cul-Flo-Valve Bypass in the bypass position by screwing the stem all the way in
against the body.
Bypass Connections
Shipped with each softener is a Culligan bypass valve, which is used to connect the softener to the plumbing system. The bypass
allows the softener to be isolated from the water service line if service is necessary while still providing water to the home. The
bypass valve can be directly plumbed into the system, or can be connected with the following optional sweat connection kits.
