Installation instructions for EZ well supply line
1. Install P/N 54508, brass fitting in each end of the solenoid using Teflon tape (not supplied).
2. Wrap the threads of the fitting as shown in the illustration, NO. 1.
3. Remove the nut from the brass fitting and the sleeve from the inside of the fitting.
4. Place the sleeve and the nut, nut first, over the ¼” copper tubing, P/N 54578, supplied with the equipment.
5. Install the line into the solenoid and tighten the nut finger tight.
6. Using a wrench, tighten the nut far enough to crush the sleeve and attach the line. NOTE: Do not over
tighten nut. Just enough pressure is required to stop water leaks.
7. Install the 3/8 x ¼ adapter to the 3/8 stainless steel tube fitting using Teflon tape as shown in illustration
NO. 2.
8. Using the other end of the copper tube, install the line, nut, and sleeve to the adapter.
9. Tighten using the same procedure as before.
10. Turn on water supply and look for leaks. If any leaks are found, tighten the nuts until leak is stopped.
NOTE: With EZ-fill multi-well units, turning on any of the controls will start water to fill all of the wells.
To fill, turn one control to the first position and allow all wells to fill completely. After wells are full, set
