INSTALLATION STEPS (cont.)

WATER FILTER HOUSING ON HOUSE MAIN WATER PIPE, TO FILTER ALL HOUSEHOLD WATER

2.On the main water pipe￿ where you will install the filter￿ 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￿ -+e lead-f*ee +olde* and fl-0 onl1. Be sure pipe and fittings are properly cleaned￿ Observe caution note in opposite column￿

3.Solder a sweat adaptor onto 1 of the pipe ends￿

4.Place￿ but do not solder￿ a straight connector onto the other pipe end￿

8.Turn a sweat adaptor fitting into the other side of the filter head and hand ,igh,en onl1. Using a tape measure or ruler￿ measure the distance ``D￿￿ as shown below￿ Mark this same dimension on a length of cop; per pipe￿ Cut the length of pipe￿

5.Remove the sump from the filter head and set the sump aside￿

6.After it cools￿ apply several wraps of Teflon tape to the threads on the sweat adaptor fitting￿

7.Ca*ef-ll1, turn the filter head INLET ￿if water flow is from the left￿ onto the sweat adaptor fitting￿ If water flow is from the right￿ turn the outlet side of the head onto the fitting￿ Do no, c*o++-,h*ead, o* o.e*- ,igh,en and crack the filter head￿

9.Remove the sweat adaptor fitting from the filter head and solder to the cut length of pipe￿

10.After it cools￿ apply several wraps of Teflon tape to the threads on the sweat adaptor fitting￿ Apply flux and 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￿

C. THREADED PIPE AND FITTINGS, FIG. 3

MATERIALS AND TOOLS NEEDED: For threaded pipe installation￿ you will need a pipe threading tool￿ pipe wrenches￿ pipe joint compound￿ union fittings and pipe nipples￿ Connect the filter housing as typically shown in FIG￿ 3￿ page 5￿ Observe the following:

H Use pipe joint compound on all external threads￿

H Do not turn pipe or fittings to tightly into the filter head or you may break it￿

H 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 ,he g*o-nding info*ma,ion on page 6, and comply with the instructions if required to main; tain continuity￿
