Bypass valve assembly.
NOTE If the ground from the electrical panel or breaker box to the water meter
or underground copper pipe is tied to the copper water lines and these
lines are cut during installation of the bypass valve, an approved grounding strap must be used between the two lines that have been cut in order
to maintain continuity. The length of the grounding strap will depend
upon the number of units being installed. In all cases where metal pipe
was originally used and is later interrupted by the bypass valve to maintain proper metallic pipe bonding, an approved ground clamp c/w not
less than #6 copper conductor must be used for continuity. Check your
local electrical code for the correct clamp and cable size.
To bypass, turn the blue knob clockwise (see directional arrow on end of knob) until the knob stops
as shown. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN! (Figure 15). To return to service, turn the blue knob counterclockwise (see directional arrow on the end of knob) until the knob stops as shown. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN! (Figure 16)
About 1-1/4”
A screwdriver shank may be
used in the slot as a lever for
extra turning force if needed.
