heaters, water softeners, whole house filters, or irrigation lines if they are to be monitored by the system.
The power supply and device must not be buried or installed where the ambient temperature can exceed 104 deg F (40 deg C) or below 32 deg F (0 deg(). Power supply must be installed off the ground.
For installations with an electrical outlet that is further than 10′, order up to four 25′ extension cable kits 920-003.
a. A GFCI outlet is recommended. If power is further than 10 feet away, do not use high voltage extension cords.
For outdoor installations, a weatherproof receptacle enclosure located a minimum of 12 inches (305mm) above the ground MUST be used.
Recommendation: purchasing and using Flo’s 15-foot, low voltage extension cords can connect to four extension cords, giving you the ability to find power up to 100 feet away!
The device must be in range of a Wi-Fi network (WLAN connectivity/IEEE 802.11 bgn, 2.4 GHzrange)
A smartphone with installed Moen Smart Water App is required to activate device and receive alarm notifications. Alert and alarm mechanisms are detailed in the app.
If the device is plugged in and not connected to internet, it will go into local Mode and experience frequent water shutoffs. The only way to get the device out oflocal Mode is to connect it to the internet. learn more about local Mode at:  https://solutions.moen.com/Smart Water Security Products/Help Center/Setup/How to use the local Mode

Installation Diagram

Please note: On well systems, install Flo after the well pressure tank with 100 mesh or finer wye strainer upstream of the device.

• DO NOT install on fire sprinkler or suppression systems and hot water distribution lines.
  If a fire sprinkler system is present, the device must be installed after the branch to the sprinkler system, so that it will not interfere with its operations.

• The Flo device will require access to a Wi-Fi network (WLAN connectivity/IEEE 802.11bgn, 2.4GHz range) and a smartphone (iPhone or Android) with installed app.

• Do not solder fittings with the Smart Water Shutoff on the line. Doing so risks damage to the Smart Water Shutoff.

• Use the Installation Spacer if needed.
  Note:
  Keep installation spacer post-install in case Flo device needs to be removed from the line for any reason. water into the dwelling

• Position the Flo device with the arrow pointing in the direction of the flow of (Shutoff can be installed in either a horizontal or vertical position) Device The Flo is recommended for a maximum continuous pressure of 80 PSI.
  Most widely accepted plumbing codes recommend a Pressure-Reducing-Valve (PRV) if applied pressure to the dwelling is over 80 PSI.
  Use a water pressure gauge and attach it to any spigot after the pressure reducing valve, if one is present, to determine the dwelling’s water pressure.

Installation Preparation

You’re now ready for installation.
To begin installation, gather the right tools for the job. For safety and ease, Moen recommends using:

1. A pipe cutter
2. Adjustable wrench or pliers
3. Tape measure
4. Thread seal tape
5. Additional copper pipe and fittings
6. Two (2) male adapters
7. Crimping tool
8. Safety glasses

Remember:

• Flo must be installed on an above ground, accessible, main cold water supply line and within 10 feet of a standard electrical outlet with continuous power. The device should be placed after the main shutoff and pressure reducing valve, and before any fixtures.
• Locate and turn off the main water supply valve, drain water from the highest flow rate fixture at the highest point in the house, then open all other faucets to further reduce the water pres­ sure leave the fixtures in the open position during installation.
• Measure the pipes where you will be installing the device and determine if there is enough space, or if you will need to create a loop. Remember to measure twice and cut once!

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 Flo Smart Water Monitor and Shutoff is 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 shutoff module and tail pieces. Mark and cut the water main line using the pipe cutters. Allow space for the shutoff module 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 module 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. (Adapters not included)
