NOTE
• If new solenoid valve is to be used,
check position of electrical connector by
holding valve with inlet port to right side
and outlet port to left side. Electrical
connector must be 45 degrees (°) from
inlet
port
and
pointing
to
right.
Reposition, if necessary, by placing
solenoid valve in soft-jawed vise and
loosening acorn nut at top of valve.
Position electrical connector and torque
acorn nut to 50 pound-inches (5.6
newton-meters).
• If new solenoid valves are used, remove protective covers and felt filtering disks (if present) from inlet
and outlet ports.
• Bottom surfaces of solenoid valves must be parallel (check on flat surface).
1
Install pipe nipple (19) between outlet port of one solenoid valve (2) and inlet port of second solenoid valve.
