NOTE: The nuts, tubes and gaskets are for 3/4 in.
plumbing connection. For 1 in. connection, do not
use the nuts, tubes and gaskets. From your local
hardware store, buy 2 sweat adaptors (1 in. female
thread x 1 in. sweat) and plumb directly to the in-
stallation adaptors or bypass valve. Threads on the
installation adaptors and bypass valve are 1 in. pipe
thread.
Measure, cut and put all pipe and fittings

Read the important note in step 6. Then
measure, cut, thread and puttogether pipe and
fittings from the inlet-outlet adaptors (or bypass
valve) up to the main water pipe, or to the
bypass valves installed in step 6.
NOTE: For 1" connection, use a 1" fitting directly
on the installationadaptors or bypass valve. Threads
on the adaptors or bypass valve are 1 in. male pipe.
Include union fittings or flexible connectors*

Cut pipe lengths exact for correct aligning, and to
prevent stress on the filter valve. Use pipe dope
or teflon tape on all outside threads.
CAUTION: BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN Pu'r-FING
PIPE FITTINGS ONTO THE PLASTIC THREADS
OF THE INLET-OUTLET ADAPTORS, OR THE
BYPASS VALVE. DO NOT CROSS-THREAD. DO
NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
*Flexible connectors are not allowed in all areas. Check your local plumbing codes.
8, Fasten or support all piping (use pipe hangers)
to keep the weight of the plumbing off of the
