Installation Steps and Start-Up Procedures, Cont.
Step 2
Turn Off Water Supply
A. Turn off the water supply.
B. Open the hot and cold water taps to depressurize the lines.
Step 3
Connect Water Lines
A. Connect water lines in compliance with all state and local, building, plumbing, and electrical
codes.
Step 4
Connect the Brine Tank
A. Connect the brine tank to the valve head with the flexible 3/8" plastic tube included with the
appliance. Insert the plastic insert in the end of the brine tube. See Figure 18.
Step 5
Connect Gravity Overflow Connections
A. The overflow elbows on each cabinet are shipped in the up position. Rotate the overflow
elbows to the down position.
B. Connect the overflow lines to each cabinet. The overflow line drains excess water to a floor
drain should the tank fill with too much water or the appliance malfunctions.
C. Connect 1/2" I.D. tubing (size cannot be reduced) between the overflow fitting and a suitable
waste receptor. This tubing is not supplied with the appliance. Ensure that the overflow line
ends at a drain that is at least 3" lower than the bottom of the overflow fitting. The gravity
line cannot be run overhead.
Step 6
Connect Drain Line
A. Connect the drain line to the drain end cap with a tube fitting (not supplied). The drain line
must be a minimum of 1/2" I.D. tubing.
B. Route the drain line to a floor drain, laundry tub, or other suitable waste receptor. Maintain a
minimum 2" air gap between the drain line and the flood level rim of the waste receptor to
prevent back-siphoning. This drain line should make the shortest run to the suitable drain.
C. The drain line may be elevated up to 8 feet from the discharge on the appliance as long as
the water pressure in your system is 40 psi or more.
D. If the drain line is 25 feet or longer, increase the drain line to 3/4-inch I.D. The end of the
drain line must be equal to or lower in height than the control valve.
Caution: The drain line must not be kinked, crimped, or restricted in any way.
Step 7
Flush Lines
A. Place the appliance in the bypass position and turn on the main water supply.
B. Open the nearest cold water faucet to flush the plumbing of any excess soldering flux, air, or
any other foreign material.
