INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1: Plumb the Valve into your water supply

Unpack equipment. Make inlet and outlet connections choosing one of the provided 3/4″ or 1″ NPT fittings depending on your incoming pipe size.

• Additional expansion tank for a water heater may be required with installation of the provided check valve.

Note: INDOORS – the valve may be installed in any orientation. OUTDOORS – the valve must be installed with cover facing up. Your installation may vary. Follow all local plumbing codes.

With the bypass valve in bypass position, turn on the main water supply. Open a cold soft water tap nearby and let run a few minutes or until the plumbing is free from foreign material (usually solder or debris from cutting the pipe) that may have resulted from the installation. Once clean, close the water tap.

STEP 2: Download the DROP Connect Mobile
STEP 3: Determine where you want to locate the HUB and REMOTE

As shown above, all DROP devices that plug into 120 volt outlets expand the DROP Link mesh network. When placing the DROP Hub and Remote, keep in mind that installing them in separate areas of the home will expand the network. This is important to consider if you have leak detectors that are located in far extremes of the home.

• If you wish to connect your system to local WiFi for remote control and notifications, please install the DROP Hub in a location that has a good WiFi signal.
