1. Inspect your Clarus Environmental Tru-Flow® Splitter System unit.
Occasionally products are damaged during shipment. If unit is
damaged, contact your dealer before starting the installation.
2. Carefully read the literature and installation instructions to familiarize
yourself with specic details regarding installation. These materials
should be retained for future reference.
3. The use of an efuent lter is strongly recommended in order to
protect components downstream from the septic tank.
HELPFUL INFORMATION FOR EASY INSTALLATION
Note: The TRU-FLOW® Splitter System must sit level on undisturbed ground or on packed sand or gravel
before backlling.
1. Clarus Environmental Tru-Flow® Splitter Systems are designed for installation on the outlet pipe of the septic tank. If a complete system has
been purchased, all the components will be included except the trench pipes, ttings, and any necessary risers (See Figure Below).
2. If the Clarus Environmental Tru-Flow® Splitter System is being retrotted into an existing septic system, it may be necessary to pump and
clean out the septic tank before attempting to install the splitter system.
3. The septic tank outlet pipe and all trench pipes should be exposed or accessible for connections or insertion to the splitter system.

STEP 1 Splitter System Outlets
NUMBER OF TRENCH
EACH INSTALLATION.
1.1) Determine the number of outlets to be used on
the splitter system based on the layout of the
trench eld. When pumping to the splitter system,
optimum results are obtained if:
INLET HOLE
(DO NOT USE FOR OUTLET)
MOLDED IN HOLES
POSSIBLE CUTOUTS
BOTTOM OF
V-GROOVE
a.) Installations requiring 4 slot openings/trench
lines utilize slot openings 1,2,4, & 5.
b.) Installations requiring 3 slot openings/trench
lines utilize slot openings 1,3, & 5.
MOLDED
DIAMETER
BASIN WALL
1.2) Score and cut through with a knife at the bottom of
v-groove. If required score several times around and
cut through. DO NOT HIT WITH A HAMMER.
1.3) Trim and clean the diameter of the hole, leaving it
the same as the molded diameter. DO NOT OVER
TRIM DIAMETER. Refer to Figure 2.2

STEP 2 Installation of Pipe Seals and Slotted Pipe Nipple
Splitter system is supplied with pipe seals for 4" SDR35 pipe. If using 4" SCH40 pipe, order P/N 173-0006.
2.1) Apply sealant around mating surface of pipe seal as shown in Figure 2.1. Repeat for each required pipe seal.
2.2) Place pipe seals in necessary holes as shown in Figure 2.2 & Figure 2.3.
2.3) Insert slotted pipe nipple through the inlet hole and pipe seal, pushing through about ¾". See Figure 2.4.
Note: Assure the slot end of the pipe nipple is inside the basin and the slot is facing upward and centered.

STEP 3 Installation of Assembled Basin
3.1) Set basin into place.
3.2) Insert necessary trench pipes into basin, pushing
through approximately 1½". See Figure 3.1. The
number of pipes varies for each installation.
3.3) Connect the inlet pipe to slotted pipe nipple with a
coupling (exible rubbers shown). Do not tighten
coupling at this time. If used see Figure 3.2.
3 .4) Installations in which the splitter system will be pumped
to are required to have at least a 3' length of 4" PVC
and a 4" elbow connected to the slotted pipe nipple.
See Figure 3.3 for required positioning of elbow. This
piping conguration will promote smooth uniform ow.
The piping from the pump to the elbow should be
sized based on the pump discharge. Use bushings/
reducers as necessary to connect to the elbow.
3.5) Maximum ow through the splitter system is dependent
on the number of trench pipe openings. The splitter
system can handle 30 gpm with 5 openings, 21
gpm with 4 openings, 17 gpm with 3 openings
and 13 gpm with 2 openings.
Note: Assure slot in pipe nipple is centered and facing upward
when connecting coupling or PVC.
Note: Basin must be leveled at this time in both
directions.
Note: The splitter system must sit level on undisturbed ground
or on packed sand or gravel before backlling.

STEP 4 Installation of Slot Covers
4.1) Determine the required number of slot covers from Figure 1.1 and the
required bafe slot for each slot cover. See Figure 4.1.
4.2) Blank slot covers should be installed in the bafe slot openings of 2,3
2
1
and 4 if their corresponding cutouts are not to be used for trench pipes.
See Figure 1.1 and 4.1. When cutouts 2 and/or 3 and/or 4 are used and
3
the splitter system is being pumped to, these bafe slots must have slot
covers with the restrictor opening installed.
4.3) Apply RTV Silicone or PVC cement to the bottom and sides of the
5
4
necessary slot cover. See Figure 4.2.
4.4) Place slot cover into bafe slot. Apply additional RTV Silicon or PVC
cement as needed along edges. See Figure 4.2. Repeat steps 4.3 & 4.4
for each required slot cover.
SK1945 SK1946
Figure 4.1
Note: Assure each required slot cover is sealed to prevent leakage into D-Box basin.
STEP 5 Installation of Diverter and Thumb Screw
5.1) Set diverter into place and insert slotted pipe
nipple into the diverter. See Figure 5.1.
5.2) Engage 3/8"-16 thumb screw and large washer
onto the diverter as shown in gure 5.2. DO
NOT OVERTIGHTEN THUMB SCREW.
5.3) Slide diverter and slotted pipe nipple as far
forward as possible, see arrow in Figure
5.1.
5.4) Tighten rubber coupling, which connects inlet
pipe and slotted pipe nipple.

STEP 7 Installation of Riser and Cover
7.1) Apply ample amounts of RTV Silicone to outside of SCH40 or SDR35 pipe (supplied by others).
7.2) Attach riser pipe SCH40 or SDR35 (supplied by others) to cover as shown in Figure 7.1.
7.3) Place an ample coating of RTV Silicone around the basin lip to form a gasket.
7.4) Place cover onto basin, then attach washers and screws as shown in Figure 7.2. Repeat where necessary.
7.5) Fill in dirt around splitter system, necessary pipes, connections, risers, and trenches.
Note: Assure riser opening is capped to prevent debris from entering the splitter system. Do not glue cap.

STEP 8 Final Adjustment
8.1) Check the level on the diverter. If adjustment is not needed, proceed to the next step. If adjustment is needed,
reference the Maintenance Instructions (below) for proper adjustment and leveling of the diverter.
Your new Clarus Environmental Splitter System is now in service.
Maintenance
The splitter system should be checked annually in conjunction with your yearly septic system inspection.
1) Remove cap on riser.
2) Check the level on the diverter with ashlight. If the level
does not need adjustment, then maintenance is not required
at this time. If level is not centered between the lines, then
proceed to the next step.
3) Loosen the thumb screw (two full turns max) until the diverter
can be adjusted. The thumb screw can be adjusted by hand
or by using a ¾" pipe ( not supplied) with a slot as shown in
Figure A.1.
4) Using the ¾" pipe, or by hand, tap at point “A” or “B” on the
bottom surface of the diverter until the diverter is level. See
Step 6 on page 3, Figure 6.1.
5) Once the diverter is leveled, tighten the thumb screw until the
diverter is stationary. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE THUMB
SCREW. Check bubble level with ashlight. If diverter
becomes unlevel during tightening, repeat steps 3, 4 and 5.
6) Replace cap on riser.
