Installation & Compatibility Notes
During installation, shut off system flow and relieve pressure. Cut or remove the section of 2″ plumbing where the tee will be placed. Install the GLX-FLO-T so that the ½″ threaded port aligns for the flow-switch device. Use proper solvent-cement or mechanical fittings as required. After setting, restore flow and ensure the flow switch mounted to the tee is functioning correctly (e.g., no low-flow errors). Tighten as needed and inspect for leaks.
Maintenance Tips
- Inspect the tee and threaded port during seasonal service for cracks, wear or chemical damage.
- If the system shows “no-flow” or “low-flow switch” errors, check the tee and switch mounting for proper alignment and tightness.
- Keep this part in stock for service technicians — inserting the correct tee is a common step when installing or servicing salt-chlorination systems or automation flow-detection loops.
