INSTALLATION STEPS (cont.)
WATER FILTER HOUSING UNDERSINK, TO FILTER WATER TO 1 FAUCET
REFER TO FIG. 4, PAGE 5. If optional kits are used,
follow instructions included with them.
1. Close the cold water side shutoff valve. (Usually,
there already is a shutoff under the sink. If not, close
the main water shutoff valve near the water meter or
pressure tank.)
2. Cut and remove a section of the cold water pipe.
3. If plumbing with flexible tubing, hang or support
the filter housing in some manner (the optional
mounting bracket is preferred). If using rigid pipe, be
sure to allow a minimum of 1-1/2" clearance under
the filter for sump removal when changing the filter
cartridge.
4. Use the plumbing procedures on page 6 if using
compression fittings. Follow procedures on pages 6
and 7 for sweat copper and threaded pipe installation.
Be sure water flow is into the filter inlet side, and
from the outlet side, to the faucet.
Note: A grounding jumper wire is not required.
5. Before turning on the water supply, remove the
sump from the filter head and install the filter cartridge
(see below).
