MATERIALS
AND

For threaded

you will need a pipe
threading
tool, pipe wrenches,
pipe joint compound,
union fittings and pipe nipples.
Connect
the filter hous-
ing as typically
shown

INSTALLATION
NOTES
• Use pipe joint compound
on all external
threads.
• Do not turn pipe or fittings
too tightly into the filter
head or you may break it.
• It is important
to have some linear movement
in the
house main water pipe.
This will allow you to tighten
union fittings without
damaging
the filter head, if
pipe lengths are not exact.
NOTE: Read the "Grounding
Information"
on Page 7,
and comply with the instructions
if required
to
maintain
continuity.

Usually, there
already
is a shutoff under
the sink. If not, close the
main water shutoff valve near the water meter or pres-
sure tank.
2. Cut and remove a section of the cold water pipe.
3. If you are plumbing
with flexible tubing, hang or sup-
port the filter housing
using
the included
mounting
bracket.
If using rigid pipe, be sure to allow a mini-
mum of 2" clearance under
the filter for sump removal
when changing
the filter cartridge.
4. Use tlle plumbing
procedures
on Page 7 if using com-
pression
fittings.
Follow procedures
on Page 8 for
sweat copper
and threaded
pipe installation.
Be sure
water flow is to the filter 1N side, and from the OUT
side to tile faucet.
NOTE: A grounding
jumper
wire is not required.
5. Before turning on the water supply, remove tile sump
from the filter head and install tile filter cartridge
(See
Page 10).
