INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
STEP A - INSTALL WATER SUPPLY FITTINGS
Check and comply with local plumbing codes as you plan, then install the fittings to connect the undersink
filter into the sink's cold water supply line. Fittings and 9.5 mm (3/8") O.D. tubing are included to provide
connections to and from the undersink filter's inlet and outlet. A typical connection using the included water
supply fittings is shown in Figure 3.
1. Close the sink's water shut off valve(s), or another shut off valve upstream from where you will install the
filter, and open faucets to relieve pressure from the sink's cold water supply line.
2. Locate the line supplying cold water to the sink faucet. Typically this line will be a flexible hose. Disconnect
the nut that connects this line to the cold water pipe. Use a bucket to catch water that drains from this line.
3. Locate the supplied male threaded adaptor fitting (See Fig. 3) and, using thread sealing tape, install it into
the nut on the faucet supply line which you disconnected in Step 2.
4. Locate the supplied female threaded adaptor fitting (See Fig. 3) and, using thread sealing tape, install it
onto the cold water supply pipe. If the threaded portion of the water supply pipe is too short to insert fully into
the adaptor fitting (about 10.4 mm), place the supplied washer inside, as shown in Figure 3.

STEP B - MAKE TUBING CONNECTIONS
NOTE: Remove protective foam plugs before connecting tubes (See Fig. 4). Discard foam plugs.
1. Locate one piece of the supplied 9.5 mm tubing. Connect it between the adaptor that you installed on the
sink line and the filter system outlet (See Figures 2 & 3). Allowing some slack, measure and cut to length. Cut
the ends of the tubing square.
2. Insert tubing all the way into the quick connect fittings on the adaptor and filter system outlet. Pull on
the tubing to be sure that it's held firmly in the fittings.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to connect the other piece of 9.5 mm tubing from the adaptor that you installed on
FIG.2
the cold water supply to the filter system inlet (See Figures 2 & 3).
Tubing Connection (all push-in fitting locations):
