3. Filter Cartridge
Tools Needed:
Gather the required tools before starting installation. Read and
follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here.
• Phillips Head Screwdriver
• Tube Cutter (for use with cop-
• Adjustable Wrench
per tubing) or Utility Knife
Installation Requirements:
• Install the filter with the inlet and outlet ports as labeled. Make sure
not to reverse connections as filter life will not operate properly.
• Do not install near electric wires or water pipes that will be in
path of drill when selecting the position to mount the
bracket. Do not mount on refrigerator.
• Mount filter in such a position as to prevent it from being struck
by other items, such as wastebaskets, etc.
• Properly tighten all fittings to ensure a leak-free assembly.
• Install in a location that is not susceptible to freezing tempera-
tures as damage to the housing could occur.
• Install away from direct sunlight as prolonged exposure to light
can weaken plastic components.
• Allow a minimum of 2 1/2" clear space below unit to facilitate fil-
ter change.
• A water supply line must be run to the refrigerator (icemaker)
according to the refrigerator manufacturer's instructions prior to
installation of this filter.
• Some local codes may require the use of a licensed plumber or
certified installer when disrupting a potable water line. Determine
and follow any and all local codes and requirements.
Installation Instructions
For Use With Cold Water Only
NOTE: This product features an attached shutoff valve to turn water
off/on during filter replacement. This will allow you to install product in
any convenient location along
the water line.
1. Turn off water supply to
refrigerator.
2. Select location for filter
assembly and fasten bracket.
Bracket may be installed in the
up or down position as shown in
Figure 1, using the two Phillips
mounting screws provided. See
"Installation Requirements" for
areas to avoid. Be sure to allow
2 1/2" of clearance below filter
assembly to facilitate cartridge
change. Filter location should be
adjacent to water supply line.

3. Screw the 1/4" Male shutoff
with flow control
valve into the INLET port of
head assembly (see Figure 2).
Hand tighten. NOTE: Inlet port is
marked "3."
Screw the 1/4" male push-in fitting
with flow control to the outlet port
(see Figure 2). If necessary, use
adjustable wrench to assist in
tightening fitting. NOTE: Outlet port
is marked "1."
4. Attach filter head assembly to
the mounting bracket with 4
Phillips screws provided (see Figure
3).
5. Place catch basin nearby to catch
water from lines when cut. Cut water
supply line to refrigerator icemaker.
(See Figure 4)
NOTE: Make sure you can connect line
to filter head fittings without kinking
line. Do not kink tubing as this will
impede water flow. Use a utility knife
for plastic lines or a tube cutter for cop-
per lines. Cut tubing straight. Remove
any burrs from copper tubing.
To Attach Tubing
Push tubing in as far as
it will go. Tubing must be
inserted past o-ring and
hit backstop. Pull tube
to ensure it is secured.
6. Referring to the "Using
Push-In Fittings" section below,
insert the water supply line into
the shutoff valve (A), as shown
in Figure 5.
7. Referring to the "Using
Push-In Fittings" section below,
insert line to refrigerator into the
outlet fitting (B), as shown in Figure 5.
8. Align tabs of filter cartridge with
head assembly and insert filter car-
