3. Wrap a 3" (7.62 cm)
long piece of PTFE
tape to the right
around the male
threads of the fittings.
Wrap tightly so that
it conforms to the

and overlaps about
1/2". (Figure 3)

5. Measure down from
the centerline of the
Cold Water Line
filter inlet about 3" and
marke the tube. From
this mark, measure
up 8" and mark the
tube. This is the sec-
tion of the tube to be
removed. If neces-
sary, because of tight
Shut Off
Valve
quarters, additional
tube can be cut away.

6. Cut the cold water
tube. Place a pan
under tube to catch
any water that may be
present. (Figure 6)
NOTICE
• Install on COLD
water lines only.

8. Cut two lengths of
3/8" soft copper
tubing and bend to
shape as shown.
Bend tubing to form
gentle curves rather
than sharp bends.
(Figure 8)
IMPORTANT NOTE
Do not crimp copper
tubing.
9. Connect both pieces
of tubing to filter and
water tube as shown
with compression
fittings. Do not over-
tighten nuts.

10. Remove housing by
grasping with both
hands and turning
to the left. A wrench
may be used on the
square lug at the bot-
tom of the housing if

in housing groove.
Thread the housing
back on the head and
hand tighten. Using of
wrench to tighten the
housing may damage
housing and result in
water leakage.
(Figure 11)
12.Open the cold water faucet to expel any trapped air. Open
the shut-off valve to allow water to enter the filter. If any
leaks occur, close the shut-off valve and open the faucet
to relieve the pressure, then gently tighten the fitting that
is leaking. Flush 10 gallons through system before use
(approximately 5 to 7.5 minutes).
