GENERAL INSTALLATION & SERVICE WARNINGS
The control valve, fittings and/or bypass are designed to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments. There
is a small amount of “give” to properly connect the piping but the water softener is not designed to support the
weight of plumbing.
Do not use Vaseline, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants or spray silicone anywhere. A silicone lubricant may be
used on black “O” Rings. This will allow ease of installation and decrease chance of rolling from the bypass and
tank connections. Avoid any type of lubricants, including silicone, on red or clear lip seals.
Do not use pipe dope or other sealants on threads. Teflon
®
tape must be used on the threads of the 1” NPT
inlet and outlet and on the threads for the drain line connection. Teflon
®
tape is not used on the nut connections
or caps because “O” Ring seals are used. The nuts and caps are designed to be unscrewed or tightened by
hand or with the special plastic Service Wrench, part # CV3193. If necessary, pliers can be used to unscrew
the nut or cap. Do not use a pipe wrench to tighten nuts or caps. Do not place screwdriver in slots on caps
and/or tap with a hammer.
