6. Wrap Teflon

®

tape (2 1/2

wraps) around the 3/8” fit-
ting in a clockwise direction
and fasten to filter head
(see Figure 5). Do not use
pipe sealant (dope), as sol-
vents in some types of pipe
dope may cause damage to
plastic fittings.

7. Insert water supply line to
port marked "IN" (see
Figure 6, A) and insert
faucet line to port marked
"OUT" (see Figure 6, B).
Referring to section “Using
Push-in Fittings,” insert
plastic tubing into fittings,
making sure end of tubing
is firmly seated to backstop.

8. Fasten bracket to filter head with
four Phillips head screws provided.
(See Figure 7.) Fasten bracket to wall
with four Phillips head screws provid-
ed. If pre-drilling holes, bracket may
be used as a template for making
screw hole locations.

9. Lubricate housing o-ring with water.

10. Place filter into housing.
(See Figure 8.)
Align housing to filter head and screw
onto filter head. Tighten with wrench to
seal.

11. Slowly turn water supply on while depressing red air
release button on filter head and check for leaks. Then run
water for 5 minutes with an open faucet to flush out air.

NOTE: Remove items from under the sink. Place a catch basin
there to collect small amounts of water that may run out when dis-
connecting water supply lines.

1. Turn off cold water supply valve and remove existing fitting and/or
tubing from cold water side of faucet.

2. Loosely assemble sump to filter head and attach filter bracket.
Use this assembly to mark a location under the sink that is not in
the way but allows for easy access to change filter. Allow room to
operate housing wrench and a minimum of 2 1/2” clear space below
the unit to facilitate changing cartridge. Once this is done disassem-
ble components for installation.

3. Determine length of tubing required from filter
head/bracket to faucet and from water supply line
to filter head/bracket by holding tubing in place
ensuring it is of appropriate length. Do not kink
tubing as this will impede water flow. If necessary,
loop tubing around to avoid it being kinked.

Cut tubing straight with a utility knife or tube cut-
ter (for copper piping). (See Figure 1.)

4. Install faucet adapter fitting to faucet (see
Figure 2). Do not overtighten to prevent dam-
age to fitting. Referring to section “Using
Push-In Fittings”, insert a section of plastic
tubing into fitting, making sure end of tubing is
firmly seated to backstop.

5. Onto one end of the remaining sec-
tion of tubing, slide the compression
hex nut and ferrule onto the tubing and
put in the tube insert (see Figure 3).
Fasten this assembly onto 3/8” water
supply outlet. Do not overtighten (see
Figure 4). Overtightening will cause
tubing to separate from fitting.

Gather the required tools before starting installation. Read and fol-
low the instructions provided with any tools listed here.

• Phillips Head Screwdriver
• Adjustable Wrench
• Teflon

®

Tape

• Utility Knife or Tube Cutter for

copper piping

• Properly tighten all fittings to ensure a leak-free assembly.
• Install in a location that is not susceptible to freezing temperatures 

as damage to the housing could occur.

• Install away from direct sunlight as prolonged exposure to light 

can weaken plastic components.

• 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.

• Allow room to operate housing wrench and a minimum of 2 1/2”

clear space below the unit to facilitate changing of the filter.
