Installation - Type A

A. WATER FILTER ON HOUSE MAIN WATER PIPE, TO FILTER ALL HOUSEHOLD WATER

USING COMPRESSION FITTINGS (See Figure 3 on Page 6)

INSTALLATION STEPS

1. Apply 4 wraps of Teflon tape to the threads of both compression fittings.

2. Carefully turn the compression fittings into the water filter head inlet and outlet and tighten. Do not cross- thread and damage the threads. Do not overtighten and crack the head.

3. Remove the nut and brass ferrule from both compres- sion fittings and set aside. Using a tape measure or ruler, measure the distance “D” as shown in Figure 7). Mark this dimension at right so you do not forget.

4. IMPORTANT: Turn off the water supply to the main pipe. Open a high and low faucet in the water system to drain the pipe.

5. On the main water pipe, where you will install the fil- ter, mark the dimension “D”. You will remove this section of pipe. Before you begin to cut, double-check your measurement.

6. Use a tubing cutter to remove the section of pipe. Remove all burrs and rough edges with the sandpaper or emery cloth.

7. Place a nut and brass ferrule from compression fittings onto both pipe ends (See Figure 8).

other side.

9. Before turning on the water supply, remove the sump from the filter head and install the filter cartridge (See Page 10).

GROUNDING INFORMATION:

The house cold water pipe is often used to ground elec- trical outlets in the home. Grounding protects you from electrical shock. Installing the water filter housing may have broken this ground. To restore, buy and install a #4 copper wire across the filter, tightly clamped at both ends, as shown in Figure 10.
