4 wraps of Teflon tape to the threads
of both
compression

and tighten.
Do not cross-

and damage
the threads.
Do not overtighten
and crack the head.
3. Remove the nut and brass ferrule from both compres-
sion fittings
and set aside.
Using a tape measure
or
ruler, measure the distance
"D" as shown in Figure 7).
Mark this dimension
at right so you do not forget.
4. IMPORTANT:
Turn off the water
supply to the main
pipe.
Open
a high and low faucet
in the water
system
to drain the pipe.
5. On the main water
pipe, where you will install the filter,
mark the dimension
"D".
You will remove this section
of pipe.
Before you begin
to cut, double-check
your
measurement.
6. Use a tubing
cutter to remove the section
of pipe.
Remove all burrs and rough edges with the sandpaper
or emery cloth.
7. Place a nut and brass ferrule from compression
fittings
onto both pipe ends (See Figure 8).
8. With
the IN side of the water
filter toward
incoming
water,
spread
the pipes apart
and fit both pipe ends
into the compression
fittings.
Move a ferrule
and nut
up to the fitting
(See Figure 9).
Then, turn on and
tighten
the nut.
Hold the fitting
with one wrench while
tightening
the nut with the other.

GROUNDING
INFORMATION:
The house cold water
pipe is often used to ground
electri-
cal outlets
in the home.
Grounding
protects
you from
electrical
shock.
Installing
the water
filter housing may
have broken
this ground.
To restore, buy and install
a #4
copper
wire across the filter, tightly
clamped
at both
ends, as shown in Figure 10.
