3. Wrap a 3" (7.62 cm)
long piece of PTFE
tape to the right
around the male
threads of the fittings.
Wrap tightly so that
it conforms to the
threads of the fitting
and overlaps about
1/2". (Figure 3)

4. Screw one fitting into
the filter outlet (top)
and the other fitting
into the filter inlet
(side). Tighten both
fittings with a wrench.
Do not overtighten.
(Figure 4)
5. Measure down from
the centerline of the
filter inlet about 3"
and marke the tube.
From this mark, mea-
sure up 8" and mark
the tube. This is the
section of the tube to
be removed. If neces-
sary, because of tight
quarters, additional
tube can be cut away.
(Figure 5)
6. Cut the cold water
tube. Place a pan
under tube to catch
any water that may be
present. (Figure 6)
CAUTION
• Install on COLD
water lines only.
7. Two compression
fittings are required
for the tube ends.
Check the tube size.
Use 5/8" x 3/8", 3/8"
x 3/8" or 1/2" x 3/8"
compression fittings
as required. Slip nut
and ferrule on water
tubing as shown and
fasten fittings in place.

8. Cut two lengths of
3/8" soft copper
tubing and bend to
shape as shown.
Bend tubing to form
gentle curves rather
than sharp bends.
(Figure 8)
IMPORTANT NOTE
Do not crimp copper
tubing.
9. Connect both pieces
of tubing to filter and
water tube as shown

fittings. Do not over-
tighten nuts.
(Figure 9)
10. Remove housing by
grasping with both
hands and turning
to the left. A wrench
may be used on the
square lug at the bot-
tom of the housing if
necessary.
(Figure 10)
11. Install cartridge by
threading into head
about 5-6 revolutions.
Do not overtighten.
Lubricate o-ring
with a thin film of a
silicone based lubri-
cant and put it back
in housing groove.
Thread the housing
back on the head and
hand tighten. Using of
wrench to tighten the
housing may damage
housing and result in
water leakage.
(Figure 11)
12.Open the cold water faucet to expel any trapped air. Open
the shut-off valve to allow water to enter the filter. If any
leaks occur, close the shut-off valve and open the faucet
to relieve the pressure, then gently tighten the fitting that
is leaking. Allow water to run 5 minutes if there are no
leaks. Water may run cloudy but will quickly clear.
