Installation - Type C
C. WATER FILTER ON HOUSE MAIN WATER PIPE, TO FILTER ALL HOUSEHOLD WATER
USING THREADED PIPE & FITTINGS (See Figure 5 on Page 6)
MATERIALS AND TOOLS NEEDED:
For threaded pipe installation, you will need a pipe
threading tool, pipe wrenches, pipe joint compound,
union fittings and pipe nipples. Connect the filter hous-
ing as typically shown in Figure 5 on Page 6.
INSTALLATION NOTES
Use pipe joint compound on all external threads.
Do not turn pipe or fittings too tightly into the filter
head or you may break it.
It is important to have some linear movement in the
house main water pipe. This will allow you to tighten
union fittings without damaging the filter head, if
pipe lengths are not exact.
NOTE: Read the “Grounding Information” on Page 7,
and comply with the instructions if required to
maintain continuity.
INSTALLATION STEPS
1. Close the cold water side shutoff valve. Usually, there
already is a shutoff under the sink. If not, close the
main water shutoff valve near the water meter or pres-
sure tank.
2. Cut and remove a section of the cold water pipe.
3. If you are plumbing with flexible tubing, hang or sup-
port the filter housing in some manner. If using rigid
pipe, be sure to allow a minimum of 2" clearance
under the filter for sump removal when changing the
filter cartridge.
4. Use the plumbing procedures on Page 7 if using com-
pression fittings. Follow procedures on Page 8 for
sweat copper and threaded pipe installation. Be sure
water flow is to the filter IN side, and from the OUT
side to the faucet.
NOTE: A grounding jumper wire is not required.
5. Before turning on the water supply, remove the sump
from the filter head and install the filter cartridge (See
Page 11).
