Installing the kit:
1. Installations should be done by a plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes.
2. The kit contains the tempering valve, double check valve and 1-1/2" CPVC TEE.
3. Consult with your local inspector prior to installation to verify code compliance if necessary.
4. Do not use sweat connection on any part of the kit or near the kit. This may destroy the
actuator and void the warranty. Be sure to only use the CPVC Tee 1-1/2" fitting included
in the kit.
5. Connect the tempering valve to the 1-1/2" drain line as close to the dishwasher hot water
discharge as possible.
6. Connect a 1/2" NPT cold water line to the tempering valve.
7. The installation of a ball shut-off valve as close as possible to the tempering valve is highly
recommended. The ball shut-off valve will be supplied by others.
8. Maintain an INDIRECT (air gap) connection to the floor drain, if the exit of the Tee is
finished to the floor drain. Turn on the cold water source, check for leaks, and test
machine operation.
