With all of the components secured in place, the tubing connections can be made. When routing the tubing between components, several guidelines should be observed:

Tubing runs should generally follow the contour of the cabinet rather than interfere with the cabinet storage area.

Arrange the tubing so that there are no sharp bends. Leave some extra length in the tubing for ease of servicing, then cut tubing to the desired length.

Insert tubes completely into all quick-connect fittings to the stop (minimum depth of 1/2").

The polyethylene tubes can be cut, but caution should be exercised to ensure that a clean (burr-free) cut is made perpendicular to the tube.

Completely insert 3/8" polyethylene tubing into inlet side of filter head.

Completely insert 3/8" polyethylene tubing into outlet side of filter head.
