Where does the auto drain valve install? Do you have to waste one of the mister ports?

Yes, it does take up one of the ports. I decided to skip this auto drain valve and just purchased extra misters. We have hard water, and I can't get the misters cleaned easily, so it's easier to have extra misters on hand (you can buy separately) and replace as needed.

What trim valve do you have ? Your question seems to relate to the iBox , but there is no mention of the valve that was installed in the box ?

NoIt should drain automatically. I have 2. One drains fine and the other has a mind of its own. Last year Haier suggested elevating the front by maybe a quarter inch . I have both set that way. One works and the other doesn't.

Use a 1/2" npt union or better yet, get the valve kit so you can flush out the unit once in a while. Make sure you put a T&P valve on the outlet side for safety. it will be part of the valve kit if you purchase it.

No-the hose/vacuum port, release valve, and pressure guage are all-in-one...a bit of a design flaw I'm afraid.

I installed mine without a plumber. Works perfectly. Less than 1 hour to install and test. Plug and play design. Its not hard to do. Need to have a power source within 5 feet of the valve location. You can always call a plumber if complications develop.

On the bottom part, on each side for hot/cold. You can go to the website and download schematic/drawing for it that will show the valves better

The yellow tube goes into the valve by the bulb. It's been a while since I did the overhaul, but the Mantis works better then ever once you get it done. Hope this helps.

Yes, mine did, which is cool! I don't know why this is not mentioned in the product description. The lower capacity (7.5 GPM) one does not have the isolator valves. All you need to add is copper plumbing pipe to hook up, gas line and GFI outlet. You may need to buy a vent if it's going indoors. Mine is outdoors on side of house.

That didn't work in my case. I went with a 2 way shut off valve (find them in the garden center of your local box hardware store)

When i installed mine there was a hole by the hitch that i put the valve through. There is one included in the kit. You can put it wherever you want

It replaces the oil plug. The purpose of this is to allow you to change the oil without any tools. Once installed the oil can be drained by simply by unsnapping the yellow cap, attaching the clear drain tube and turning the valve approximately a 1/4 turn counterclockwise.

Your assumption is correct, and it is necessary. I found the will have a tendency to overflow the primary tank, especially if you remove the cap. I used a differn't gate valve because of my configuration

Like the others have said, just open the gray valve. I drain the black tank first then flush line out using gray tank without the jet on. If pumping up hill you will need the jet. This system is slower but I won't go back too stinky slinky.

I'm not sure the unit is intended for external installation. Mine is under an inside sink. That having been said, the water connections are on the bottom. it seems to me that if you shut off the valve and unscrew the water connections, the water would with the help of gravity, drain out of the unit.
