Air Gap ET117-006 User Guide

Page 1

Rentals/Temporary and Permanent Installation Tips:

By using a 1 ½” spigot trap adapter and no-hub coupling, the ET117-006 may be removed and the standpipe left in its original condition. You can unscrew the ET117-006 to check flow rates, or install at a new location even if a trap adapter or wye and trap adapter combination is permanently glued to the standpipe.

The two trap adapters provided with your ET117-006 will allow you to make a connection to any standpipe configuration encountered: use the close 1 ½” MIPT nipple in a threaded female fitting, the spigot adapter in a female slip fitting, and a hub adapter over PVC pipe. The Beveled washer and O-ring are interchangeable, but should not be used together.

No-Hub connectors:

Ideal for cast iron or non-threaded galvanized steel, copper, and ABS/PVC Pipe. With the use of non-hub couplings, it is a simple procedure to splice into any drain line to fabricate a standpipe.

Note:

In most residential applications, it is permissible to transition from metal to plastic using no-hub couplings, however some commercial buildings require a uniformity of materials throughout the drainage system such as all no-hub cast iron pipe. For this reason, it is advisable to determine the specific code requirements for each job.

• The ET117-006 provides a true airgap for all Schedule-40 DWV standpipes.

• These instructions are intended for the professional installer. Examples are given without providing details of every procedure.

To comply with all plumbing code requirements, the standpipe used with a ET117 Series must be trapped, vented and fabricated from a Schedule-40 Drain Waste and Vent material that has been approved in your area, such as: ABS, PVC, galvanized steel, copper or no-hub cast iron with an inside diameter of 1 ½” or greater.

Below are the three practical standpipe configurations:

Combination residential water softener / RO / washing machine drain configurations

5/8" Jaco Compression Nut Installation Instruction:

1. Cut the tubing end squarely and remove the internal and external burrs.

2. Insert the tubing through the back of the nut all the way through the nut assembly to the tube stop in the fitting body.

3. While holding the tubing firmly against the tube stop, hand tighten the nut.

4. Wrench tighten the nut 1½ to 2 additional turns.

5. All nuts must be retightened when the system reaches projected operating temperature.
