INSTALLATION STEPS
6. Using females and compression nuts, cut and fasten
a length of tubing (allow some slack) from the cold
water' pipe, to the filter head inlet compression adap-
tor', FIG5.
7. Cutting to the length needed to allow some slack,
fasten tubing to the filter outlet side compression
adaptor; returning to the sink cold water pipe, as typi-
cally shown in FIG. 6
8. Check to be sure all fittings are tightened.
9. Before turning on the water supply, remove the

MATERIALS AND TOOLS NEEDED: You will need 2
sweat adaptors, 3/8" NPI' x sweat (sweat end to fit
your' sink cold water pipe), 4 sweat 90°elbows,
copper' pipe, lead-flee solder and flux, soldering
torch, Teflon tape, sandpaper or emery-cloth, open
end (to fit sweat adaptor) or adjustable jaw wrench.
CAU_£ION: Heat created when soldering can dam.
age the water filter housing. Be sure to use the fol-
lowing procedures to protect the water' filter'
1. CAUTION: Turn off the water supply to the sink
cold pipe. Open the sink cold faucet to relieve pres-
sure in the pipe.
Note: If the sink faucet is a single lever, mixing type,
also close the shutoffvalve on the hot water side.
2. Use a tubing cutter' to remove a section of the sink
cold water pipe (catch trapped water with a rag or
towel).. Use sandpaper' or emery-cloth to thoroughly
clean, and remove all bur,s and rough edges, from
both pipe ends
Note: When soldering, use lead-free solder and flux
only. Be sure pipe and fittings are properly cleaned
Observe caution note above,
3. Refer' to FIG, 2, page 5, and to the following draw-
ings, Make typical soldered assemblies A and B as
shown in FIG, 7 After they have cooled, apply Tef!on
tape or pipe joint compound to the pipe threads,
Then, turn them into the filter' head and tighten
4. Solder' the filter' housing, with assemblies A and B
installed, to the cold water shutoff valve C. Wrap a wet
