STEP 5: CONNECTING THE TUBING
Using "Quick Connectors"
Tube connections on the T-Valve, Filter Head Connection Assembly, and Indicator Faucet are all of
the "Quick Connect" variety. The steps below illustrate how to connect and disconnect the Tubes
from these connectors.
a. Push the Tube into the Collette. The Collette is a collar that
provides a secure fit for the Tube and prevents water leaks.
b. Push the Tube in until it stops. The Tube will be secure, and
resistant to tugs or pulls. The Collette will be rigid and raised
slightly from the connector housing.
c. To disconnect the Tube, push down and hold the Collette first,
and then pull the Tube out gently.

1. Water Supply Connection
Use the supplied white color Water Supply Tubing to connect the T-valve to the Filter Head
Connector Assembly by pushing one end of the tubing firmly into the Quick Connector
Collette on the open side of the T-Valve. Be sure to push in all the way and ensure the Tube
is not bent or kinked.
Then connect the other open end of the Tubing to the Filter Head Connector Assembly "Inlet"
by inserting the tube into the Collette on the Quick Connect 90 (degree symbol) Elbow on the
side labeled "Inlet" (nearest to the Sediment filter)
2. Faucet Connection
Now, connect the open end of the Blue Tubing coming from the Faucet to the Filter Head
Connector Assembly "Outlet" by inserting the Tube into the Collette on the Quick Connect 90°
Elbow on the side labeled "Outlet" (nearest to the Carbon Block Filter). Be sure to push in firmly
all the way and ensure the Tube is not bent or kinked.
