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.
Connect Inlet and Outlet Plumbing
Complete the inlet and outlet plumbing for the type of pipe as shown below.
