6 • RAINSOFT TC CONDITIONER SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL
Important Note: Short connections of
pipe may allow hot water to back up into
the system. Recommend at least 10 linear
feet or three (3) linear meters of pipe
between Conditioner and Water Heater.
Important Note: Applicable for copper
plumbing installations.
Important Note: The bypass valve is
not designed to withstand heat from
soldering or twisting from the attached
threaded connections.
Important Note: Too much weight on the
plumbing connections will cause a leak.
6. Turn Off the Water and Drain the Plumbing
• Turn off the water at the meter or the pressure tank.
•
water will drain out of the lowest faucet or outlet.
• Do not sweat pipes with water in them or while attached to the system; steam will
damage the plastic parts in the valve.
• Do not point the soldering torch directly at the mineral tank or control valve. These
composite materials will last a lifetime, but cannot withstand the intense heat from a
torch.
• Avoid short connections of pipe between the system and the water heater. If you
cannot avoid a short connection, move the system to another location. As a last
resort, install a heat trap or check valve. If this causes “water hammer”, install a water
hammer suppressor.
7. Provide Untreated Water for Irrigation or Outdoor Watering
• If available, run an untreated water line to outside faucet or provide a hose connection
on untreated line prior to system.
8. Install the Pipe Connector (Yoke) to the Bypass Valve

• Support all plumbing connected to the yoke.
• Connect the raw water supply to the inlet pipe connection of the yoke. When looking
at the front of the system, the inlet is the pipe connection on the right side of the valve
• Connect the treated water pipe to the outlet pipe connection on the yoke. When
looking at the front of the system, the outlet is the pipe connection on the left side of
