Step 1 - Install Water Supply Fitting
Locate the cold water line in the sink cabinet. Check and
comply with local plumbing codes as you plan, and then
install a water supply fitting on the sink’s cold water line.
The fitting must provide a leak-tight connection to the
Two-Stage Drinking Water Filter’s 3/8” O.D. inlet tubing.
A typical connection using the included water supply fit-
ting is shown in Fig. 3. An alternative connection using
standard plumbing fittings (not included) is shown in
Fig. 4.
Figure 4
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.
If you live in the state of Massachusetts, review plumb-
ing code 248-CMR of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts before proceeding with the installation.
