Installation

1. Check carton for any evidence of damage due to rough handling in shipment or any valve components are damaged, notify
freight carrier immediately.
Note: When working in and around the clamp use caution to prevent potential injury to fingers or hands from sudden contact
with sharp edges.
2. After inspection, carefully remove valve components from carton.
Be sure sand has been placed into filter, sand guide has been removed and top of filter cleaned of any sand or debris.
Note: The filter valve will attach to the filter in one of two ways depending upon the filter and valve type.
Clamp style valves utilize a clamp which holds together the flanges of the valve and filter. Follow exactly, steps 3 thru
8 below to attach the valve to the filter. (Disregard steps 9 thru 12.)
3. Check to be sure (Item 14) o-ring is in place in groove on valve body. (Note: Item numbers in this portion of the instruction
booklet refer to the replacement parts list tilled HiFlow
4. Open clamp (Item 15) wide enough to place over the flange on the tank and rest on the tank before the valve is installed.
5. Place valve over opening in top of tank so that filter centerpipe slips into bore of valve body.
6. Valve parts are labeled with the location of where they should be connected, (i.e. pump port must go to pump discharge, waste
port must go to the waste line and return port must go to the pool return).
7. Orient the valve to allow the ports to be plumbed to the proper location.
8. Press down on valve so that (Item 14) o-ring is down inside of opening of tank top.
Improper tank valve assembly could cause the valve to separate and cause severe injury and/or property damage.
Lift the clamp (Item 15) over the tank flange and carefully guide the clamp so that it catches both the valve flange and the tank
flange. Tighten "T' bolt nut securely.
Threaded style valves utilize a large 6" buttress thread that screws directly to the filter tank. Follow exactly, steps 9
thru 12 below to attach the valve to the filter. (Disregard steps 3 thru 8.)
9. Check to be sure o-ring, (Item 14), is in place above large thread on valve body and that o-ring is lubricated. If o-ring requires
lubrication, use only silicone type lubrication.
Use of lubricants or pipe sealants other than recommended in this instruction booklet, can damage the valve and cause the
valve to separate and could cause severe bodily injury or property damage.
10. Check to be sure filter piping assembly is exactly centered about 1½" below the large threaded opening in the tank.
11. Carefully install the valve inside the filter opening so that the filter piping assembly slips into socket of the valve. Slowly turn
valve clockwise until the thread engages with the thread on the tank. Continue to turn valve until the o-ring on valve contacts
the tank. Grasp valve by the two opposing ports and tighten as secure as possible by hand.
Do not install pipes into the threaded ports, for the purpose of gaining mechanical advantage, as this can over tighten and
damage the valve and can cause the valve to separate resulting in severe bodily injury and/or property damage.
Note: The valve should not become hard to turn when installing in the filter opening until the valve o-ring contacts the filter
surface. Failure to position the filter piping assembly in the center of the large filter opening can cause the valve to not thread
properly into the filter tank.
12. Orient the filter with valve to allow the ports to be plumbed to the proper location.
13. The Maximum operating pressure of this valve is 50 psi. The filter unit also has a maximum operating pressure listed on the
filter nameplate. DO NOT OPERATE this unit above the maximum operating pressure of the valve or the filter. Never connect
the filter and valve unit to a pump which can generate a pressure that exceeds the operating pressure of the filter or valve.
14. Assemble piping and pipe fittings to pump and valve. All piping must conform to local and state plumbing and sanitary codes.
15. Use sealant on all tapered male connections of pipe and fittings. Use only sealant compounds suited for plastic pipe. Support
pipe to prevent strains on filter, pump or valve.
Note: All valve internal threads are tapered except the air bleeder connection. Do not overtighten tapered thread connections.
16. Install pressure gauge in 1/4" NPT port directly across from the pump port.
17. Never store pool chemicals within 10 feet of your pool filter valve. Pool chemicals should always be stored in a cool, dry, well
ventilated area.
Chemical fumes and/or spills can cause severe attack of filter valve structural components. Structurally weakened components
can cause filter valve or attachments to separate and could cause severe bodily injury and or property damage.
