The solenoid valve is supplied with a 24 V coil.

The flow control valve regulates all cold water flowing into the disposer and Waste Xpress. This conserves . water and prevents overloading.

WATER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS

All cold water line fittings are 1/2" NPT except the sink bowl nozzles which are 1/2" compression. . Use 1/2" compression fitting to connect hot water . to Waste Xpress.

Install the flow control valve, water solenoid valve, and syphon breaker according to the direction of the arrows marked on each valve body.

NOTE: In-line hot and cold shutoff valves are recommended close to the Waste Xpress system for ease of service.

ROUTING WATER FLOW
