INSTALLATION STEPS
STEP 1 - COLD WATER SUPPLY FITTING
Check and comply with local plumbing codes as you plan, then install a cold feed (supply) water fitting. The
fitting must provide a leak- tight connection to the water filter 3 / 8" tubing. A typical connection using the in-
cluded water supply fitting is shown in FIG.2 - A. An optional connection using standard plumbing fittings
(not included), is shown in B.
A. WATER SUPPLY FITTING
1. Close the house main water shutoff valve and
open faucets to drain water from the sink cold water pipe.
2.Remove nut that connects the cold water faucet to cold water plumbing.
3.Use pipe joint compound or Teflon tape on cold water faucet stud threads and on the male threads of the water
supply fitting that connect to the cold water pipe.
4.Thread water supply fitting onto pipe and reconnect nut to bottom of fitting.
B. OPTIONAL PIPE FITTINGS
(compression type shown)
Note: Be sure to turn off the water supply and open a low faucet to drain the pipe.
Complying with plumbing codes, install a fitting on the cold water pipe to adapt 3 / 8" OD tubing. A typi-
cal connection is shown in figure 2B. If threaded fit-
tings are used, be sure to use pipe joint compound or Teflon tape on outside threads.
