Pentair T40-F User manual

Installation Instructions
Prior to installation, check local building codes for exceptions to these instructions.
1. Install leveler bucket so top of bucket is flush with bond beam of pool (See Fig. A). Ring and
Lid then should be installed flush with deck. Use rebar mounting flanges provided on bucket
to insure and aid in keeping bucket level during concrete pour.
2. Install 1½" equalizer pipe. IMPORTANT: Equalizer pipe must be straight, as shown in Figure
A. The use of any 45°or 90°pipe could cause air lock and void warranty. Use only PVC to ABS
transition cement for this application.
3. Connect 3/4" fresh water supply pipe to side leveler bucket. (See Fig. A). Special Note: Please
allow adequate cure time as per cement manufacturer before applying pressure.
4. You can pressure test auto-fill with supplied fitting P/N 210067. (See Fig. D). CAUTION: Do not
over tighten.
5. Remove test plug and flush supply line for approximately 60 seconds or until all debris has
cleared.
6. Connect 3/4" overflow pipe in port (See Fig. A), using a PVC to ABS transition cement.
7. Install valve assembly, Fluidmaster®Valve with PTFE thread seal tape. IMPORTANT: Do not
use liquid or paste sealers. Pentair Water Pool and Spa, Inc. does not cover warranty if
damaged because of over tightening or cross threading.
8. To adjust float height of Fluidmaster®valve, lightly press down the top of fill valve with one
hand, while turning clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust valve. Continue turning until
water level is achieved. (See Figure E).
