VI. Connect System
Option 2 - Plumb a 3-Valve By-pass
E.
When soldering, the following must be met and followed:
• LEAD FREE solder must be used.
• PVC containers and other flammable materials must be closed or removed to prevent fire or explosions.
• Loose clothing (ie: shirttails, sleeves, etc.) should not be worn or should be addressed before using a torch for soldering.
• The customer must be notified if you will be disabling smoke alarm(s) during installation. Be sure to reconnect the smoke
alarm(s).
• A scorch pad must be used to protect any surface that may be exposed to a torch flame or excessive heat. Wear protective
eyewear while installing to prevent eye injury caused by splattering soldering materials or metal/plastic shavings.
• Do not solder brass adapters while inserted in the module main base. Damage to the plastic and rubber parts may occur
due to the heat and may result in water damage.
• The materials used in the soldering process may attack certain types of plastics. Care should be taken during the
installation process to assure that solder and flux do not come in contact with media tanks, the control module, E-clips and
related plastic components.
F. Cut and route the plumbing and install the necessary adapters. Be sure to follow all codes.
G. Once the plumbing has cooled, lubricate and install O-rings onto the four grooves on the plumbing adapters.
• After you install the by-pass components but before you attach the system, flush the lines by briefly opening the proper valves
to rinse debris from the installation process. Flushing enough water to fill a five-gallon bucket is a good general guideline to
follow. Then, close the valve again.
• Connect the softener control module to the plumbing adapters using the E-clips provided.
i. It is important that the E-clips are fully inserted into the Kinetico Control Valve. Check that all 3 tabs on the E-clips are
fully inserted. Do not reuse the old E-clips, replace with new E-clips.
P.
It is recommended that screens (item #11456) are installed in the inlet and outlet
port on the softener control module.
Q.
Now connect the softener to the inlet and outlet elbows on the by-pass valve by
pushing it into place.
R.
Install e-clips to connect the by-pass valve to the control valve.
•
It is important that the E-clips are fully inserted into the Kinetico Control Valve. Check
that all 3 tabs on the E-clips are fully inserted. Do not reuse the old E-clips, replace with
new E-clips.
A.
If a Kinetico by-pass valve is not used with the equipment, plumb a 3-valve by-
pass that allows you to isolate the system.
B.
Insert the plumbing adapters into the softener control module.
C.
Dry fit connections in order to determine the best place to cut into the plumbing
to connect the in and out ports of the softener control module.
D.
Once measurements are taken, remove the adapters from the control module.
Move the softener away from the plumbing.
