INSTALLATION NOTES
1. Make sure the lter is operating under the working pressure and using a pressure control valve when
the system is using a booster pump.
2. To aid in winterization and maintenance it is recommended that a separate gate valve be installed.
3. Minimize the length of pipe and the number of ttings to minimize friction loss to ensure maximum
efciency.
4. Connect all plumbing to the Multiport Valve taking care that all joints are glued or tightened securely
to prevent leaking.
5. To prevent breakage and damage to the pump and Multiport Valve, use only pipe sealants specically
formulated for plastics.
6. Ensure solvents are not excessively applied to ttings as this could run into O-Rings and create
sealing problems.
7. Do not over tighten ttings or adapters.
MULTIPORT VALVE INSTALLATION
Top Mount Sand Filters are supplied with a screw down Multiport Valve. Supplied with the Multiport
Valve are Flange clamp, screws and O-Ring.
1. Screw the barrel unions onto the threaded ports on the Multiport Valve.
2. When rotating the Multiport Valve into position on a Top Mount Filter, leave some leeway for better
alignment of plumbing.
3. Once the Multiport Valve is in position and the plumbing is aligned, apply the thread tape to the
barrel union thread.
4. Using a roll of Teon tape, wrap the Teon tape around the thread (tail) of the barrel union in a clock
wise direction.
5. Screw the barrel union into the thread of the Multiport Valve and hand tighten. The barrel union
should be rmly threaded into the Multiport Valve and there should be no play between the thread.
6. Once you have done this tighten the barrel union with an appropriate tool until it is tight.
7. Repeat steps until all barrel unions are rmly onto the Multiport Valve.
8. Glue the plumbing to the Barrel unions and allow 24 hours for glue (solvent) to set before starting
the lter.
9. Test the lter and check for leaks around the threads. If leaking occurs disconnect plumbing and
repeat the steps 2 to 6 until the leak has stopped.
