Leak Detection & Automatic Water Shut-o System

Installation and Operating Manual

Congratulations on your purchase of a Floodstop electronic water leak detection and automatic water shut-o kit

for water heaters. This product has been designed to give you years of reliable service and minimize home water

damage by detecting water leaks and automatically shutting o the water supply.

To ensure proper installation and to maximize the performance of your Floodstop water leak detection system,

please read this manual thoroughly.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING: If a leak is detected, the Floodstop Valves will shut o the water

going to the washing machine. This will stop the continuous ow of water from the water supply valve to the

water heater. However, all or some of the water that is already in the water heater and hoses may still leak out

onto the oor.

NOTE: This unit was shipped with an installation and operating manual that contains important information about

its operation. If you are installing this unit for use by others, we recommend you leave this manual – or a copy of

it – with the user.

Installation

1. Shut o main water supply valve.

Step 4 instructs you to install the Floodstop Valve (3/4” FIP x ¾”

MIP) between the rigid water line coming o the manual cold

water valve and the water heater. Most rigid lines will be copper.

Evaluate your line and determine which size adapter tting you

will need (the most common one will be 3/4” solder x 3/4” MIP).

Then determine what size union you will need between the

Floodstop Valve and the water heater. Note that in some cases

you can use a exible or corrugated water heater connector in

place of a union.

2. Open faucet nearest water heater to relieve water pressure.

3. Shut o the manual cold water valve that supplies water to the

water heater. Note that the top of the water heater will usually be

marked “Cold” or “Inlet” at the point where the cold water line is

connected.

4. Position the Floodstop Valve so that the arrow on the side of the

valve is pointing to the water heater. Install the Floodstop Valve

between the rigid water line coming from the manual cold water

valve and the water heater. NOTE: The Floodstop Valve should

be installed within 2 feet of the water heater so that the Leak

Sensor can lay at on the oor.

5. Mount the Floodstop Control Panel in an easily accessible location

within 30 inches of the Floodstop Valves. You may mount the

panel using the screws and anchors, or Hook & Loop Mounting

Pad provided. When using the Hook & Loop Mounting Pad, make

sure the adhesive is put on a clean, dry surface. NOTE: Depending

on the location you pick, and the distance between the hot and

cold shut-o valves, you may need to purchase two (2) Floodstop

Control Panel to Valve Extension Wires, Model #FSACEXT9

(available where you purchased your Floodstop System).

6. With the contacts of the wire harness connector facing you, plug

the 6-pin connector end of the Wire Harness into the bottom of

the Control Panel.

7. Take the 2 short wires coming from the Control Panel and

connect each one to a Floodstop Valve (make sure the arrow

on the side of the plugs line up with each other). It does not

matter which wire gets connected to which Floodstop Valve.

NOTE: The Leak Sensor comes with a Paper Sleeve. If the Leak

Sensor is going to make contact with the washing machine, or

any other piece of metal, make sure you leave the Paper Sleeve

on. If the Leak Sensor makes contact with metal, it will signal the

Floodstop Valve to shut o. The Paper Sleeve acts as a barrier

between the Leak Sensor and the metal. When the Paper Sleeve

becomes wet, it will signal the Floodstop Valve to shut o. If the

Leak Sensor will not be contacting metal, you may remove the

Paper Sleeve.

8. Connect plug on end of long at wire coming from Control Panel

to either set of prongs on the Leak Sensor, pushing until plug

snaps in place. Then place Leak Sensor on the oor behind

the washing machine. NOTE: Additional Leak Sensors can

be connected together for added protection. For additional

Leak Sensors, purchase Floodstop Water Leak Sensor, Model

#FSAXS01 (available where you purchased your Floodstop

System). CAUTION: Do not place Leak Sensor or cord in a

walkway, or other location that may cause someone to trip

and fall.
