CAuTioN
Do NoT use this system with water that is microbiologi-
cally unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate
disinfection installed before or after the system.
General
If you experience any problems with these instructions, or if any
parts are damaged or missing, contact the factory Technical Service
Department at 630-784-1000 or toll free in the U.S. at 877-392-7836.
The TAC System improves the quality of the water by addressing scale
issues on hot water applications. The TAC System should be installed
upstream of equipment using hot water. The TAC system will not affect
taste or carbonation and can be installed on lines going to ice and post mix.
PLumBiNG
NoTe: This system is designed to be used on tap water not to
exceed 100°F (38°C) or 100 psig (690 kPa). The kit must be con-
nected to the CoLD water line. Do NoT connect the kit to the hot
water line.
The TAC System has the following connections:
•Inlet: 1” NPT • Outlet: 1” NPT
When making a plumbing connection to the system, use a back-up
wrench on the supporting plumbing. Always use a quality, approved pipe
sealant or thread seal tape on the pipe threads. Be careful not to get the
pipe sealant inside the pipe when making connections.
Do NOT over tighten the connections. The use of plastic fittings when
connecting to the plastic head will reduce the possibility of cracking the
head due to over tightening.
If soldered plumbing is used, do NOT apply heat to, or near, the filter
head. The use of union (O-ring seal) connections is highly recommend-
ed for ease of installation and future servicing.
Fittings included with the system can be used on both the Inlet and/or
Outlet of the TAC Housing Head. It is recommended that thread seal
cord and pipe dope be used on the 1” NPT thread. When attaching the
Stem Adaptor to the head, do NOT overtighten the fitting.
The Male Connector can be attached to the Stem Adaptor to create a
3/4” NPT male thread connection. Push the Male Connector onto the
Stem Adaptor, making sure the Male Connector is fully seated on the
Stem Adaptor (about 1.5”). If the Male Connector needs to be removed
from the Stem Adaptor, push the collet on the Male Connector squarely
against the face of the fitting. With the collet pushed in place, remove
the Male Connector from the Stem Adaptor.
Thread seal tape and pipe dope are recommended on 3/4” NPT threads.
When attaching the inlet and outlet plumbing to the Male Connector,
do NOT overtighten the connection.
iNLeT WATeR PLumBiNG
The plumbing leading to the TAC System must be flushed clear of all
debris before connecting to the TAC Housing Head inlet. Hold a bucket
at the inlet water line and slowly open the inlet water valve. Allow the
pipe to flush until all debris is removed.
equipment Setup
When installing the system, follow these guidelines:
•
Do NOT install above electrical equipment.
•
Allow space below the TAC Housing to allow for easy TAC
Cartridge replacement.
CAuTioN
This equipment must be installed to comply with the
basic plumbing code of the Building officials and Code
Administrators, inc. (BoCA) and the Food Service Sanitation
manual of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
CAuTioN
Water pressure must not exceed 100 psig. To reduce
water pressure, install a Water Pressure Regulator and
set the water pressure to below 100 psig.
