D. CONNECT VALVE AND SALT TANK DRAINS

ffi CONNECT THE VALVE DRAIN HOSE

Take a length of 3 / 8" inside diameter drain tub- ing and attach one end to the drain fitting (FIG. 12). 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 back-flow of sewer water into the soften- er. 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. 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 re-

stricted in any way.

•Keep the hose lower than the drain fitting. (In some homes, to get to a drain you must raise the

hose and run it over-head. 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: The plumbing codes where you live may say that you must use a copper valve drain tube. A copper tube is also best to use for

an over-head drain. Use a copper drain tube if the softener is installed outside, or in the sunlight. Heat from the sun makes many kinds of rubber or plastic hose to soften, flatten and close up.

To adapt a copper drain tube to the softener, buy a

compression fitting (1/4 in. female pipe threads x 1/2 in. O.D. tube) and tubing from your local hard- ware store.
