Install Plastic Bypass Valve
ASSEMBLE INLET OUTLET ADAPTORS, OR PLASTIC BYPASS VALVE
Complete the following steps to assemble the adaptors or bypass valve.
1.Close the shutoff valve on the house main water pipe, near the water meter or pressure tank, to turn off the water. See Fig. 7.
2.Shut off the gas or electric supply to the water heater. See Fig. 7.
3.Open the highest and lowest water faucets in your- house. This will let water drain from the pipes. Close faucets after water has drained.
4.Remove the main cover. See Fig. 8. Pull outward on two (2) tabs to release.
The salt hole cover remains attached to the main cover when removed. Set both covers aside so they will not get scratched or broken.

NOTE: If you will not install the bypass valve because you will have a three (3) valve bypass, skip steps 6 & 7, but do steps 5 and 8.
5.Visually check and remove any foreign materials from the valve inlet and outlet ports. See Fig. 9. Carefully remove the two large plastic clips (you will use them). Check to be sure the turbine and turbine support are firmly in place. See Fig. 10.
