CHOOSE TYPE OF WATER FITTING TO INSTALL

Locate the cold water line in the sink cabinet. It is recom- mended, but not required, that the cold water line be soft water. You can use the saddle valve provided with your unit to tap into the cold water line. See Fig. 5. Or you can purchase standard pipe fittings locally such as a com- pression fitting. The fitting must provide a leak-tight connection to the Reverse Osmosis 1/4" tube.

NOTE: Local code may dictate which type of water fit- ting is used. Consult a plumber if you are not familiar with local codes or plumbing procedures.

NOTE: Codes in the state of Massachusetts require

installation by a licensed plumber and do not permit the use of saddle valves.

If you live in the state of Massachusetts, review plumb-

ing code 248-CMR of the Commonwealth of

Massachusetts before proceeding with the installation.
