INSTALLATION STEPS

STEP 4 - MAKE TUBING CONNECTIONS

1.Allowing some slack, measure and cut a length of

3/8" tubing to connect between the supply fitting and the filter system inlet, FIG. 1. Cut the ends of the tubing square.

2.Insert tubing all the way into the supply fitting and

inlet fitting. Pull on the tubing to be sure that it's held firmly in the fitting.

3.Repeat steps I and 2 to connect tubing between the

filter system outlet and the adaptor on the bottom of the faucet stud, FIG. 1.

TUBING CONNECTION (all push- in fitting locations)

This system includes push- in fittings for quick tub-

ing connection at most locations. If working with the fittings do the following.

Connection, FIG. 5 - A:

1.Use a sharp cutter or knife to cut the end of tubing square.

2.Inspect the end (about 1") of the tubing to be sure

there are no nicks, scratches or other rough spots. If needed cut the tubing again.

3.Push tubing through the collet and all the way into

fitting. Full engagement is 11/16" for 1/4" tubing, and 3/4" for 3/8" tubing.

If tubing other than supplied with the system is

used, be sure it is of high quality, exact size and

roundness with a smooth surface.

To Disconnect Tubing, FIG. 5 - B: Push the collet in-

ward and hold with a finger while pulling the tubing out.
