Installation
Tighten the Tank Head
NOTICE
Check the head on top of the tank. It is common for it to loosen during
shipment. Tighten the head with a strap wrench as needed.
NOTICE
It is very important to use flexible connections on the inlet and
outlet plumbing in the horizontal orientation as shown in the images
on this page. The tanks expand and contract with water pressure
fluctuations. Flexible connectors will prevent plumbing and tank
leaks. The EDP code for the suggested Watts 2" Flexible Connectors
is C515285 (Two are required for installation).
Anytime OneFlow systems are installed above the ground floor of a
®
building it is recommended that a vacuum breaker also be installed
to protect against tank collapse in the event the plumbing system is
drained. If a vacuum breaker is not used then the system should be
placed in bypass anytime the plumbing system is drained. The EDP
code for the suggested vacuum breaker is 0556031. The vacuum
breaker should be installed on the outlet of the system.
Install Piping
Connect the inlet and outlet plumbing according to your prefer-
ences and any applicable local codes. Include sample/drain ports
with hose-bibb connections on the inlet and outlet piping to facilitate
startup and service.
WARNING
!
Support the Piping
The full weight of the piping and valves must be supported by
uni-strut, pipe hangers or other means. The tank connections can-
not support the weight of the piping. This photo from a multi-tank
system installation shows properly supported piping.

Start-Up
Connect a hose to the hose bibb on the
outlet of the tank. Run the hose to a drain
and open the hose bibb.
Slowly/partially open the supply water ball
valve. Allow the tank to slowly fill with water.
When a steady stream of water appears at
the drain, close the supply valve and hose
bibb.
Open the inlet and outlet valves on the
system. Transfer the bypass valves from
Bypass to the Service position. Open a
nearby faucet downstream from the One-
Flow system to relieve any air.
®
Check for leaks. Repair as needed.
Fill in install date and rebed due date on
product label located on front of each tank
as reminder to replace OneFlow media
every 3 years.
The system is now ready for service.
