Choose a dry location to install the WaterCop

front control panel should be easily visible in order to

see what position the valve is in (open/closed) and

accessible for resetting after a leak has been detected

and corrected, and for checking and resetting the radio

receiver code if necessary. Place the valve where the

housing is protected from use as a step or other

excessive loads. The shut-off valve must be installed:

• In the main water line;

• Just downstream from the main water shut-off

valve;

• In a dry location (indoors only);

• Where it is accessible for checking and resetting

the valve and for resetting the radio receiver code,

if necessary; and

• Where the case is protected from use as a step or

other excessive loads.

Caution: Never use the housing for leverage when

mounting this unit or tightening fittings. Use a

wrench on the valve flats that are provided.

Caution: High heat from soldering or brazing can

damage valve seats or motor housing. Proper

precautions should be taken to prevent damage

from heat when installing the unit. Remove plastic

housing before soldering valve in place.

Additional Part Requirements

Installation of the WaterCop

parts. When the main supply line is cut to

accommodate the WaterCop

needed to connect the ends of the piping to the

WaterCop

valve.

The type of connecting fittings to use will be

determined by the type of existing piping, local

plumbing codes, and "industry standard practices."

The most common material for water supply lines is

copper. If the WaterCop

line, you still have a choice of fittings and methods of

installation.

Compression fittings:

The unit can be installed with compression fittings

using common household tools and basic mechanical

ability. You will need:

a) 2 fittings (male pipe thread x compression) available

at most local hardware or plumbing supply stores

b) Teflon tape or other thread sealant

c) Tubing cutter

d) Ruler

e) Pencil or marker

f) 2 large adjustable wrenches

Measure the outside diameter of the copper tube and

note the valve size to be sure you purchase the proper

size fittings for the job.

1. Remove nuts and sleeves from compression fit

tings and install the fittings into each end of the

valve using Teflon tape or other thread sealant to

ensure a watertight seal. Hold one wrench on flats

of valve body and use the other to tighten

fittings.

2. Measure the distance from end to end of valve

assembly. For 1/2" tube (5/8 outside diameter)

subtract 1/2", for 3/4" tube (7/8 outside diameter)

subtract 3/4" from your measurement. This is the

length of the section of tubing to be cut out of the

existing line. The piece of existing tubing to be cut

out is shorter than the measured length so that

will require additional

new fittings will be

is to be installed in a copper

. The

tube ends extend into the compression fittings.

3. Select the location for the WaterCop

consider that you will need access to the front

panel of the control unit. After cutting the section

of tube out of the line, you will need to shift the tube

ends to be able to fit the unit into place. Make sure

you will have access and room to adjust before you

cut the tube.

4. Mark the tube in the location you have selected.

Double check the length and location you marked.

5. Turn water off and drain the system.

6. Use tube cutter to cut copper tube at the locations

you marked. Careful, there will probably still be

some water in the line.

7. Remove any burrs from the tube ends and clean

ends.

8. Install compression nuts and sleeves to each tube

end.

9. Shift tube ends to install WaterCop

10. Position the unit and tighten compression nuts.

Hold the fitting with one wrench while tightening

the nut with the other. Tighten both nuts.

11. Plug unit into a proper power source and turn valve

to open position (open button / green light).

12. Unplug unit, turn water back on and carefully

check for leaks.

13. Tighten fittings if needed to stop any leaks.

14. Plug unit back into power source. Installation is

complete.

Solder fittings:

An alternative method is to solder the unit into the

water line. This method requires a considerably high-

er skill level to accomplish the installation properly and

safely. If you are not skilled in this area, it is strongly

recommended that you contact a professional plumber

to do this type of installation.

Electrical Connection

The WaterCop

power cord and standard grounded 3 prong connector

to be plugged into a properly

power source. Consult local electrical codes as to the

necessity of ground fault protection. It is recommended

that the WaterCop

cord. Review "Specification" current and power

requirements as not to overload the circuit supplying

power.

Warnings and Precautions

WARNING

The motorized drive unit case is not capable of

supporting any loads. Do not attempt to use the unit

as a step. This will cause damage to the unit and could

cause personal injury. Do not store highly flammable

items such as oily rags or other combustibles near your

WaterCop

CAUTION

It is recommended that eye protection be worn while

installing or servicing the system. Failure to do so

could result in personal injury.

CAUTION

Do not use the case as leverage when mounting this

unit or tightening fittings. Apply wrench to flats on the

valve body to tighten fittings.
