MATERIALS
AND
TOOLS
NEEDED:
You will need 2 sweat adaptors,
1" NPT x sweat (sweat
end to fit your main water pipe), lead-free
solder and
flux, soldering
torch, '[_flon tape, sandpaper
or emery
cloth, open end (to fit sweat adaptor)
or adjustable
jaw
wrench.
INSTALLATION
STEPS
CAUTION:
Heat created when soldering
can damage
the water filter's plastic parts.
Be sure to use the follow-
ing procedure
to protect the water filter.
1. IMPORTANT:
'Ium off the water supply
to the main
pipe.
Open a high and low faucet in the water system
to drain the pipe.
2. On the main water pipe, where you will install the fil-
rex, use a tubing cutter to remove
a section of pipe
about 12" long.
Use sandpaper
or emery cloth to thor-
oughly clean and remove all burrs and rough edges,
from both pipe ends.
NOTE: When soldering,
use lead-free
solder and flux
only. Be sure pipe and fittings are properly
cleaned.
3. Solder a sweat adaptor
onto one of the pipe ends (See
Figure 11).
4. Place, but do not solder, a straight
connector
onto the
other pipe end (See Figure 11).
5. Remove the sump from the filter head and set the
sump aside.
6. After it cools, apply 4 wraps of Teflon tape to the
threads on the sweat adaptor
fitting (See Figure 12).
7. With the IN side of the water filter toward
incoming
water, carefully, turn the filter head onto the sweat
adaptor
fitting (See Figure 12). Do not cross-thread,
or
over-tighten
and crack tlle filter head.
8. 'l\ml a sweat adaptor
fitting into the other side of the
filter head and hand tighten only. Using a tape meas-
ure or ruler, measure
the distance
"D" as shown
in
Figure 13. Mark this same dimension
on a length of
copper pipe.
Cut the length of pipe.
9. Remove the sweat adaptor
fitting from the filter head
and solder to the cut length of pipe.
10. After it cools, apply 4 wraps of Teflon tape to the
threads on the sweat adaptor
fitting.
Apply flux and
continued
place the pipe end of the soldered
assembly
into the
straight
connector.
Then, turn the adaptor
end into
the filter head and tighten.
11. Solder both sides of the straight
connector.
12. Before replacing
the sump and turning
on the water
supply, install the filter cartridge
(See Page 10).
NOTE: Read the "Grounding
Information"
on Page 7,
and comply with the instructions
if required
to
maintain
continuity.
