SHURFLO
CITY/CURBSIDE POTABLE WATER ENTRY
®
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The SHURFLO Water Entry is a pressure reducing device which maintains nominal pressure and prevents high pressure surges
from damaging the plumbing system. All Water Entries contain an internal backflow preventer to stop reverse flow through the
unit when the potable water pump is used.
CAUTION: Maximum inlet pressure is 125 psi. [8.6 bar]

TUBING
WALL/BULKHEAD MOUNTING
❚ Choose a location that permits easy
access to the outlet (pressurized)
plumbing. The preferred plumbing con-
figuration is to tee into the cold water
line after the pump but, before the water
heater or fixtures.
❚ Cut a 3½" dia. [8.75 cm] opening.
❚ Place the unit into the opening, and
square the mounting holes. Mark the
four mounting holes.
❚ Use #8 screws/hardware (not includ-
ed) that are applicable for wall construc-

tion and environment.
FLEXIBLE
❚ Drill the four mounting holes required
for the fasteners.
❚ Make consideration for plumbing
connections that may be easier to make
prior to the unit being mounted.

❚ Use at least 1 ft. [30 cm] of ½" I.D.
[13mm] flexible high pressure tubing if
connecting to rigid plumbing.
CAUTION: The Water Entry must not
be connected directly to plastic or rigid
pipe. Vibration or stress induced through
the plumbing may cause noise and pos-

sibly loosen or crack components.
❚ The swivel-barb fitting (available p#
244-3926 elbow, 244-2926 straight) is
designed with a "taper seal" creating
a water tight connection when "Hand-
Tightened." Max. torque 8-10 ft/lb. [10-
13 N•m]. Always secure tubing connec-
tions with properly sized stainless steel
clamps.
❚ Seal flange with suitable caulking to
prevent exterior water from damaging
wall construction.
