Bypass Valve Installation

The bypass valve connects directly to the control valve with

a pair of couplings and two assembly pins (Figure 15).

Lubricate all o-rings on the couplings with silicone lubricant.

On Soft-Minder

meter controls, the meter replaces the

coupling on the outlet side of the control. The meter body

fits in the same space as the coupling between the control

valve and the bypass. Make sure that the arrow on the flow

meter is pointing in the direction of flow (Figure 15).

The bypass valve has knobs that easily snap on and off of the stem. A screwdriver can be used to depress the snap lever

on the stem for knob removal. The knobs have alignment tabs that mate into the notches in the bypass body to ensure that

the stem is properly aligned in the bypass body. The service knob (blue) has a locking feature, which must be depressed in

order to shift the stem out of the bypass position (Figure 16).

Drain Line Connection

Refer to Table 3, under the applicable tank size for drain line length and height limitations.

• Remove 1/2” pipe clamp from the small parts pack included with the control.

• Route a length of 1/2” drain line from the drain elbow to the drain.

• Fasten the drain line to the elbow with the clamp.

• Secure the drain line to prevent its movement during regeneration. When discharging into a sink, or open floor drain, a

loop in the end of the tube will keep it filled with water and will reduce splashing at the beginning of each regeneration.

NOTE: If the ground from the electrical panel or breaker box to the water meter or underground copper pipe is tied to the

copper water lines and these lines are cut during installation of the bypass valve, an approved grounding strap must be

used between the two lines that have been cut in order to maintain continuity. The length of the grounding strap will depend

upon the number of units being installed. In all cases where metal pipe was originally used and is later interrupted by the

bypass valve to maintain proper metallic pipe bonding, an approved ground clamp c/w not less than #6 copper conductor

must be used for continuity. Check your local electrical code for the correct clamp and cable size.

NOTE: Waste connections or drain outlets shall be designed and constructed to provide for connection to the sanitary

waste system through an air gap of 2 pipe diameters or 1 inch, whichever is larger.

NOTE: Observe all plumbing codes. Most codes require an anti-siphon device or air gap at the discharge point. The

system and installation must comply with state and local laws and regulations.

NOTE: The bypass stem can only be removed from

valve on the bypass side (red knob). The bypass valve

is designed so that it can be flipped over, with the bypass

(red) knob on the left side of the valve. This will need to

be taken into consideration if the control is plumbed in

close to a wall which may prevent the stem from being

easily removed.
