4. Screw one fitting into
the filter outlet (top)
and the other fitting
into the filter inlet
(side). Tighten both
fittings with a wrench.
Do not overtighten.
(Figure 4)
5. Measure down from
the centerline of the
filter inlet about 3"
and marke the tube.
From this mark, mea-
sure up 8" and mark
the tube. This is the
section of the tube to
be removed. If neces-
sary, because of tight
quarters, additional
tube can be cut away.
(Figure 5)
6. Cut the cold water
tube. Place a pan
under tube to catch
any water that may be
present. (Figure 6)
CAUTION
• Install on COLD
water lines only.
7. Two compression
fittings are required
for the tube ends.
Check the tube size.
Use 5/8" x 3/8", 3/8"
x 3/8" or 1/2" x 3/8"
compression fittings
as required. Slip nut
and ferrule on water
tubing as shown and
fasten fittings in place.
