INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
2) INSTALLATION
: Note: All installations must conform to local plumbing codes and use approved backflow preventers. A
pressure indicating tee is to be installed with existing faucets according to local plumbing codes in the state of Wis co nsi n an d an y
other states that require the use of a pressure indicating tee. WARNING: Water supply should not exceed 125 psi and water
temperature must not exceed 150°F.
A. MOUNTING AND WATER SUPPLY:
Use mounting template enclosed to locate the mounting screw positions. Drill all of the holes into the drywall using a 1/4” di am ete r
bit for use with the included #10 screws and anchors. (If mounting the Blend Safe to wood and you do not plan to use the included
anchors, drill 1/8” diameter holes.) Insert the anchors into drilled holes and hammer them into the wall until they are flush with face
of wall. Assemble all of the #10 screws with a Phillips screwdriver into the anchors so the screw heads are sticking out of the wall
approximately 1/2”. Mount the Blend Safe by inserting the screw heads through the keyhole slots in the top and tighten the screws.
Now insert and tighten the screws in the bottom. The water inlet is equipped with a female garden hose fitting (with strainer wash er)
for attaching a water supply hose. The water inlet may be removed to permit direct connection to a 3/8" NPT pipe. The unit is
designed so water can be supplied to either side by interchanging the pipe plug with the pipe and female hose fi tt ing ass em bly . Note:
Apply pipe dope, hand-tighten, then turn 1-½ tim es w ith a w rench. Do not over tighten. WARNING: Do no t use Tef lon ®
tape to sea l internal plastic th rea ds a s t he ext ra th ickn ess of th e tape may ca us e the plastic to cra ck. U se a nonwelding
liquid sealant instead.
B.PRESSURE INDI CATING T EE INST ALLAT ION:
Screw female quick disconnect to faucet and attach pressure indicating tee to
female quick disconnect. Attach fem ale end of reinf orced ho se to m ale t hreads of tee, then attach the male en d t o t he female garden
hose fitting at the water inlet of the Blend Safe (See Figure 3).
C.CHE MICAL INJECTION ADJUSTMENT
: Warning: Use care when handling hazardous chemicals.
Chemical feed rates are controlled by m etering tips screwed into the proportioner barb. Select a tip using Table 1 or 2 as a guide.
1 cps (centipoise) is equal to the viscosity of water
75 cps is approximately equal to the viscosity of 10 weight motor oil
200 cps is approximately equal to the v iscosity of most dis hwashing detergents
D. CHEMICAL SUPPLY: Remove Blend Safe Cover. Slip ceramic weight over inlet tube. Install the chemical supply tubing by
pushing the tubing over the barb located on the front of the proportioner (Refer to Figure 1). Place the chemical container inside the
case. Run tub ing down through holes in b ack of Blend Safe and insert the foot valve end of the chemical supply tubing into the
chemical container. Peel-off gummed labels are provided for labeling chemicals.
E. DRIP TRAY
into place. Two-sided tape or Velcro (not included) may be used to secure drip tray to door.
F. OUTLET TUBING
through the hole located at the bottom of the case. Attach tubing hanger to end of tubing, to hang up when n ot in use. Do not force
outlet tubing onto the larger barbs on the proportioner.
3) OPERATION:
The Blend Safe is now ready for use. Depressing a push button or lifting a bottle lever (select models only) opens the valve allowing
water to flow through the chemical proportioner that mixes a chemical water solution at the desired rate. The buttons are spring loaded
to prevent accidental overflow if unattended, but may be converted to locking buttons by cutting off the tab at the notch (See Figure 2).
Pushing the button and turning it a 1/4 turn clockwise at the end of its travel allows the valve to lock on. This makes it unnecessary f or
the attendant to hold the b utton while filling large containers. Tur ning the button in a counter clockwis e direction will relea se it,
allowing the valve to shut off. Note: Models with bottle le ver activation doesn’t all ow push button to lock on.
4) SERVICING:
A. Proportioner fails to draw chemical: Insuf ficient water supply pressure. 20 PSI is the minimum allow able pressure.
B. Proportioner stops drawing chemical:
: (1 GPM only) Attach to door of unit by inserting notches in back of drip tray through slots in door. Push tray down
: (4 GPM ONLY) Attach one end of the 3/8” ID tubing to the proportioner outlet barb and run the other end
Caution: Turn off water supply before servicing.
1. Inspect foot valve for dried chemical or dirt. Soak in hot water to clean.
2. Proportioner metering tip clogged with dried chemical. Remove tip and try injecting in hot water. If there is no suction,
remove proportioner and soak in hot water to clear interior passages.
3. Inspect proportioner to ensure that there are no mineral deposit build-ups on the nozzle. If so, soak proportioner body in
deliming solution. (Remove all parts attached to proportioner before soaking in deliming solution.) Note: Use care
when handling hazardous chemicals.
C. Valve Malfunction
that a "click" can be heard when the button is pushed and released, indicating that the magnet is activating the plunger properly.
Remove cover. To inspect internal parts, unscrew magnet housing and carefully pull off the enclosing tube so as not to drop the
plunger, kic k- off spring, a nd s pacer. Che ck for dirt or damage impe ding plunger and kick-off spring movement. Inspect the
diaphragm, making sure the two small pinholes (bleed holes) in the diaphragm convolution are clear to
: Check that the button moves freely in & out, bottle lever moves up and down freely (select mo del s o nl y ) an d

allow the valve to close. If so, soak proportioner body in deliming solution. (Remove all parts attached to proportioner before
soaking in deliming solution.) Note: Use care when handling hazardous chemicals.
Caution: When servic ing unit, be sure that repl acement parts have been installed according to drawing.
