Installation - Type C
C. WATER FILTER ON HOUSE MAIN WATER PIPE, TO FILTER ALL HOUSEHOLD WATER
USING THREADED PIPE & FITTINGS (See Figure 5 on Page 6)
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 hous- ing as typically shown in Figure 5 on Page 6.
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.
Installation - Type D
D. WATER FILTER UNDERSINK, TO FILTER WATER TO ONE FAUCET
(See Figure 6 on Page 6)
INSTALLATION STEPS
1. Close the cold water side shutoff valve. 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 the 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 IN side, and from the OUT side to the faucet.
NOTE: A grounding jumper wire is not required.
5. Before turning on the water supply, remove the sump from the filter head and install the filter cartridge (See Page 10).
