Determine the best location for the installation spacer kit and future Flo Smart Water Monitor and Shutoff.

930-001 and 930-002 must be installed on 0.75″ or smaller diameter water line.
930-003 and 930-004 must be installed on 1″ or smaller diameter water line.
930-005 and 930-006 must be installed on a 1.50″ or smaller diameter water line.

Install the spacer after the main shut-off and before any fixtures. Refer to the diagram above.

The installation of the future Flo Smart Water Monitor and Shutoff will require an electrical outlet (100-240 VAC-50/60 Hz) with continuous power within 10′ of the installation. For installations with an electrical outlet that is further than 10′, order up to four 25′ extension cable kits 920-003.

Important Notes

On well systems, install the installation spacer after the well pressure tank with 100 mesh or wye strainer upstream from spacer
DO NOT install the spacer on fire sprinkler or suppression systems and hot water distribution lines.
The future Flo Smart Water Monitor and Shutoff will require access to a WiFi network (WLAN connectivity/IEEE 802.11bgn, 2.4GHz range) and a smartphone (iPhone or Android) with installed app

If working with dry pipes, skip to the next step.

Shut off water main. Drain water from highest flow rate fixture at the highest point in the house. Open other fixtures to further reduce pressure. Leave these fixtures in the open position for the duration of the installation.

The clearance needed for the spacer and the future Moen Smart Water Shutoff is as follows:

C straight pipe run on inlet
D straight pipe run on outlet
B clearance on the sides
A clearance on the top
B clearance on the bottom

Measure using the spacer and tail pieces. Mark and cut the water main line using the pipe cutters. Allow space for the installation spacer and both tailpieces. To reduce potential for pinching o-rings during installation, it is recommended to leave a clearance of 1/32″ to 1/16″ between the spacer and tailpieces.

Minimum Dimensions

Install the two union nuts (A) with fittings on main pipe. The union nuts threading must face the spacer. If using threaded adapters, install the desired male adapters on either end of the cut pipe.
Install

f using solder adapters (F), install the desired solder adapters on either end of the cut pipe. Do not expose the union nuts (A) to excess heat from a torch flame if soldering. Use of cooling gel to prevent damage is advised.
Install

If using threaded adapters (as depicted), apply thread sealant. DO NOT use thread sealant on the spacers, union nuts, or the future Flo Smart Water Monitor and Shutoff. If using solder adapters or tailpiece connections, allow them to cool to room temperature before touching.

If attaching brass tailpieces (B) onto pipe threads as illustrated, use a pair of adjustable wrenches or pliers to tighten the brass tail piece fittings while supporting the pipe with a second wrench attached to the adapter.

Inspect the spacer (D) and ensure the inside surfaces are clean and free of residue and debris. Also, ensure the two o-rings (C) are present in the grooves of either end of the spacer (D).

Next, place the spacer (D) in line with the water main
spacer

Hand-tighten both union nuts (A).

hen using a pair of adjustable wrenches or pliers, tighten the nut up to an additional 1/4″ turn, ensuring they are not over tightened.

Note: Leave the graphics sleeve on the installation spacer for the homeowner’s reference.

Slowly, open the main water shutoff partially and verify there are not drips or leaks coming from the installation connections. If there are none, slowly open the main water shutoff fully
Shut off water main

After the air in the line is flushed out, close all open fixtures in the house, starting with the fixtures in the lowest point of the home and ending with the fixtures in the highest point. Leave these instructions with the homeowner.
