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

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.

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.

Note: Read ,he g*o-nding info*ma,ion on page 6, and comply with the instructions if required to main8 tain continuity.

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 main8 tain continuity.
