Step A - Install Supply Water Fitting

Check and comply with local plumbing codes as you plan, then install a cold feed (supply) water fitting.

The fitting must provide a leak-tight connection to the water filter 3/8" tubing. A typical connection using

the included water supply fitting is shown in Figure 3A. An optional connection using standard plumbing

fittings (not included) is shown in Figure 3B.

Cold Water Supply Fitting

1. Close the water shut off valve that is immediately before supply fitting and open faucets to drain water

from the sink cold water pipe.

2. Remove nut that connects the cold water faucet to cold water plumbing.

3. Thread water supply fitting onto pipe and reconnect nut to bottom of fitting.

Optional Pipe Fittings (compression type shown)

NOTE: Be sure to turn off the water supply and open a faucet to drain the pipe.

Complying with plumbing codes, install a fitting on the cold water pipe to adapt 3/8" OD tubing. A typical

connection is shown in Figure 3B. If threaded fittings are used, be sure to use pipe joint compound or

thread sealing tape on outside threads.
