Attach Fittings to Water Line
1 Slip a compression nut onto each pipe.
2 Next, slip the brass ferrule onto each pipe.
Installing the Unit
1 Align filter assembly with pipe ends, making certain that the
incoming water supply is going into the filter opening marked
"IN" . It may be necessary to spread the pipe ends apart to install
filter assembly.
2 Using a 1 wrench to hold the fitting in place; use a 1
1 8
wrench to tighten the nut. Repeat process for other fittings.
Installing the Ground Wire
NOTE: If your house plumbing is plastic, it would not be used as
a grounding path, and this step should be skipped.
IMPORTANT: A copper or galvanized cold water pipe is often used
to ground electrical outlets in the home. Grounding protects you
from electrical shock. The water filter housing may have broken this
ground path. To restore connection, install a 12 -long,
6-gauge copper wire across the filter, and tightly clamp using
UL-approved 1/2 –1 bronze grounding clamps at both ends as
shown. Zinc clamps should not be used on copper plumbing.
Wire and clamps may be purchased separately from your local
hardware store.
Final Check
1 Install filter, if not already done. (See Filter Cartridge Replacement
section.)
2 Slowly turn on water supply.
3 Check entire system for leaks.

(see Filter Cartridge Replacement section).
1 Clean copper pipe and ends of wire with emery paper. Bare wire
is recommended. If insulated wire is used, it should be stripped
3/4 at each end before cleaning with emery paper.
2 Attach bronze clamps to copper pipe. Tighten screws.
