Check and comply with local plumbing codes as you plan, then install a cold feed (supply) water fitting. The
fitting must provide a leak-tight connection to the RO 1/4" tubing (see Figure 10, page 10). A typical connec­
tion using the included water supply fitting is shown in Figure 3A below. An optional connection, using stan­
dard plumbing fittings (not included), is shown in Figure 3B.
Note: Codes in the state of Massachusetts require installation by a licensed plumber, and do not permit the use of a saddle
valve. For installation, use plumbing code 248-CMR of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
