***EWS, Inc. can not anticipate all the different locations, applications and materials used by your builder and/
or plumbing contractor regarding your household or sink piping, therefore we offer a generic and common fitting
with proper instructions. A qualified plumber, plumbing supply location, or hardware store will have no problem
with alternative parts and advice necessary to install your unit.

A more preferred method to connect the inlet supply line is to shut off
the water main and replace the entire angle stop. This will have a con-
nection from the house main water line, a connection to the cold water
side to the kitchen sink faucet and a much better connection for the
inlet supply to the filtration unit. This will provide one fitting with a shut
off to the kitchen faucet and a shut off to the filtration system. The
replacement of the angle stop is a better plumbing connection and any
number of fittings can be used for the correct application under any
circumstances.

Examples of common connections and fittings available:

• OPTIONS:
1/2” IPS x 3/8” compression x 1/4” compression
3-way angle stop

• OPTIONS:
1/2” compression x 3/8” compression x 1/4” compression
3-way angle stop

Note:
Be sure one outlet is 1/4” compression
for the water filter 1/4” inlet/supply tubing

Preferred Inlet Supply Water Connection - All Applications

The Preferred Inlet Supply Water Connection is Applicable in All Applications and Codes

Replace the Angle Stop with a Proper 3-Way Fitting:

There are a number of options to properly install any one of these drinking water filtration systems.

Identify the cold water supply line and then you will need to know;

Size or O.D. diameter of pipe or tubing

Pipe material (hard or soft copper, steel, brass, stainless, PVC, plastic, etc...)

The existing angle stop or fitting will assist in determining the proper 3-way angle stop or fitting needed for
your specific application

Professional Installation Using a Preferred Connection is Strongly Recommended

A qualified plumber should choose to connect the inlet supply water supply by a more preferred connection. ***

Proper installation is dependent on your specific application and the concept of proper installation is universal.
