NOTICE:
WARNING: The drain used must be installed in accordance with
the manufacturers written instruction manual, and in conformity with
applicable Federal, State, Local and Swimming pool industry building
and safety codes.
If you use one of the Paramount MDx 'VGb Compliant Debris
Drains' consult the applicable manual for specific instruction on how
to plumb.
NOTICE: All pipe fittings MUST be staggered. (See pictures next
page)
All plumbing should be 2".
The water valve is normally set 6" above water level in a
convenient location poolside. This results in dramatic reduction
in plumbing runs and increased cost savings.
The center port of the bottom housing is the inlet to the valve. Cut
all pipes square, this allows maximum gluing surface to the bottom
housing. USE PRIMER AND GLUE ON bOTTOM hOUSING AND
1. Remove Clamp
2. Lift off dome (save 0-Ring)
3. Remove pressure gauge and knob from inside valve housing
assembly.
4. Pipes and valve base should be treated with primer.
Primer valve base twice
5. Make sure pipes are glued all the way into the stop. be
careful not to allow glue to run into module area.*
6. The center port is the inlet to the valve and should be
approximately 3" longer than the perimeter pipes.

ON PVC PIPES. (IPS WELDON 2943 PRIMER and 1007 GLUE or
4052 GLUE or EQUIVALENT). Primer Valve base two times.
Glue pipe all the way into the stop and allow at least 24 hours
drying time before pressure test. To prevent glue damage to
internal ribs always glue with the valve right side up.
If not all six (6) ports are required, use one of the ports twice to feed
one return line. The common ports should not be plumbed next to
each other, always skip a port when double firing. The pipes from
the water valve should be connected together underground.
7. Allow 24 hour before pressure testing.
8. Reposition o-ring in groove in the valve base.
9. Replace dome and V-Clamp and tighten until snug.
10. Thread the pressure gauge to the top of
the dome. DO NOT USE TEFLON TAPE
11. Pressurize with pool plumbing (do not exceed 35 psi.)
12. Store the module assembly in a safe place and install after the
pool has been started up.
* Pipes should be a minimum of 12" in length and should
insure the valve be at least 6" above water level.
