Instructions / Assembly

• Connect the raw water pipe to the INLET pipe connection of the bypass valve. When looking at the

front of the unit, the inlet is the pipe connection on the LEFT side of the valve.

• Connect the treated water pipe to the OUTLET pipe connection of the bypass valve. When looking at

the front of the unit, the outlet is the pipe connection on the RIGHT side of the valve.

8. PLUMBING GROUND CONNECTION

• In some homes, metal piping may serve as a ground connection for the home electrical system.

Installing a Plumber’s Direct Filter with its nonmetallic valve body will interrupt the ground connection.

Whenever a system is installed on metallic plumbing, we recommend you use grounding pipe

clampsand a ground cable to maintain continuity of the ground connection from the inlet to the outlet

pipe. ¼” bare stranded wire is recommended for the ground cable. Check electrical continuity

of the connection after installation.

9. INSTALL THE DRAIN LINE AND AIR GAP (AIR GAP NOT INCLUDED WITH THE UNIT)

• Using the supplied drain line fitting use Teflon tape on the threads and attach to the top of the valve.

Run 1/2 inch ID flexible drain line tubing( included) to an appropriate drain. Most local codes

require an air gap. See pictures below. .

Note: Drain line may be plumbed with rigid pipe or PEX, if required by local code. The drain connection on

the valve will accommodate any standard 3/4 inch NPT fitting.
