T-flush Valve
Installation of a T-flush valve is recommended
when this system is used with an icemaker. The
T-flush valve is installed between the system and
the dispenser, so it can be used to flush away
carbon fines or release pressure before removing
the cartridge.
The T-flush valve can also be installed after plastic
or copper tubing is connected to outlet.

icemaker
When using a drain, pro-
vide an air gap between
end of tube and drain to
prevent contamination. If
a drain is not available, a
bucket can be used.
