IN FIG. 12 3 VALVE BYPASS INSTALLING 3 VALVE BYPASS AND PIPES Complete the following steps to install the three (3) valve bypass: • Cut the house main water pipe where you will connect the softener. • Loosely put together pipe, fittings, and the three (3) valves. • Place valve(s) within easy reach. When all pipe, fittings and valves make a good fit together, tighten all threaded joints (use pipe dope on outside threads), or solder all sweat joints. TO FIG. 13 Softener Inlet Questions? Call The Kenmore Water Line 1-800-426-9345 POSITION SOFTENER INTO PLACE Complete the following steps to position the softener. 1. Grip under the ridge on the salt tank sidewall. 2. Carefully rock back and forth into position. 3. Move the softener into position. 4. Place on a level and smooth surface. If needed, put a piece of 3/4" plywood, at least 17" x 20", under the tank. Then put spacers under the plywood to level the softener. See Fig. 14. NOTE: Do not put shims or spacers directly under the tank, without the plywood. The weight of the softener, when full of salt and water, may cause the tank to puncture or break at the shim or spacer. CONNECT THE SOFTENER Refer to your plan drawing. See Fig. 5. Measure, cut (thread if needed) and put all pipe and fittings together up to the main water pipe, or to the bypass valve(s) you installed in the previous step. CAUTION: Never solder fittings while connected to nonmetallic parts. Wait until soldered pipe has cooled before connection. See Fig. 15. CAUTION: Be careful when putting pipe fittings together. Do not cross thread, and do not overtighten. MOVE SOFTENER INTO PLACE Grip under ridge to move softener. Plywo_ Shims FIG. 14 TYPICAL SOLDERING CONNECTIONS ain Water Pipe Hard Water 4. Solder 1.

Call The Kenmore Water Line 1-800-426-9345 CONNECT THE VALVE DRAIN HOSE Take a length of 3/8" inside diameter drain tubing and attach one end to the drain fitting. See Fig. 16. Use a tube clamp to hold it in place. Put the other end of the tubing over a floor drain, into a laundry tub, standpipe, or other suitable drain. Check your local codes. Leave an air gap of about 1-1/2" between the end of the hose and the drain. This gap is needed so you don't get a backflow of sewer water into the softener. Do not put the end of the hose into the drain or connect without the air gap. Place and support the hose so it does not kink or have sharp bends. Secure the hose end so water pressure does not cause the hose to "whip". Tie or wire it in place. Do not pinch the hose shut. The softener will not work if this drain hose is pinched, plugged, closed or restricted in any way. Direct drain flow down into drain from drain line as flow could possibly over shoot the drain cover. Keep the hose lower than the drain fitting. In some homes, to get to a drain you must raise the hose and run it overhead. If you need an overhead drain, do not raise the hose more than 8' above the floor. A copper drain tube is best to use. COPPER DRAIN TUBE: Local plumbing codes may require the use a copper valve drain tube. A copper tube is also best to use for an overhead drain. Use a copper drain tube if the softener is installed outside, or in the sunlight. Heat from the sun can soften, flatten and close up some kinds of tubes. To adapt a copper drain tube to the softener, buy a compression fitting (1/4" female pipe threads x 1/2" O.D. tube) and tubing from your local hardware store. CONNECT SALT TANK OVERFLOW TUBING 1. Locate the rubber grommet, tube adaptor and tube clamp (see Fig. 16) that are in the parts bag. 2. Push the grommet into the hole in the salt tank wall so half is inside and half is outside. 3. Push the bigger end of the tube adaptor into the grommet. 4. Push one end of a length of 3/8" I.D. tubing onto the tube adaptor, using the tube clamp to hold it in place. 5. Put the other end of the tubing over the floor drain. IMPORTANT: Overflow water must run downward through the tubing. Do not raise the tubing higher than the grommet and tube adaptor. See Fig. 16. IMPORTANT: Do not connect to the valve drain hose you installed in step 1. Both drains must have a separate hose or tube. NOTE: Overflow drain tubing is available from Sears.
