-- 3 VALVE BYPASS: Close the inlet valve and open a soft water faucet. Then close the outlet valve and open the bypass valve.

-- SEARS SPECIAL BYPASS: Slide the bypass valve stem to bypass position. Loosen 3 hex head screws toward the back side of the valve to allow pressure water to bleed out. Catch water with a rag.

DISASSEMBLY

To remove a part or group of parts, refer to the valve drawing. A common screwdriver or nut driver, Phillips screwdriver and pliers are the only tools needed to completely disassemble.

SERVICING THE VALVE

Inspect all o-rings, seals and gaskets for wear or defects.

Inspect the bottom surface of the rotor for scratches, chips or wear.

NOTE: If replacement is needed, be sure to use the current replacement part.

ASSEMBLY

Be sure all parts are in place and in the proper position. Lubricate ALL o-rings and seals with FDA approved silicone grease. To install the rotor seal, first place the seal into the valve groove, rounded side down (see cross-section). Apply a light coating of silicone grease to the seal’s crossing ribs. Then, carefully center the wear strip on the seal, and push it downward onto the seal.
