Assemble Inlet and Outlet Plumbing
Measure, cut, and loosely assemble pipe and fittings from the main water pipe to the inlet and outlet ports of the water softener valve. Be sure to keep fittings fully together, and pipes squared and straight.
Be sure hard water supply pipe goes to the water softener valve inlet side.
NOTE: Inlet and outlet are marked on the valve. Trace the water flow direction to be sure.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to fit, align and support all plumbing to prevent putting stress on the softener valve inlet and outlet. Undue stress from misaligned or unsupported plumbing may cause damage to the valve.
