Manifolds may be used with metal or non-metallic piping systems.
1. Shut off incoming cold water supply.
2. Select the installation location.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Allow a minimum of 3 in (7.6 cm) of space below the cartridges for change-outs.
3. Select fasteners (not included) and tools appropriate for the installation location (wall, support structure
mounted to wall studs, concrete, etc.)
4. Mount the manifold/filter system to a wall using the mounting holes provided on the back plate of the
metal bracket.
• It is recommended to first draw a level line on the mounting surface at the height of the fasteners.
• Mark the location of the fasteners using the bracket as a template or by measuring the distance
between the mounting holes.
• Install the fasteners and allow 1/4”- 3/8” (6-10 mm) of each fastener to protrude from the surface.
• Install the manifold onto the fasteners.
• Tighten the fasteners.
5. Install inlet (left rear) and outlet fittings (right front to ice/coffee and left front to beverage) to the manifold.
All connections terminate with a 3/4” NPT (male) fitting. The inlet kit includes a fitting and a ball valve. The
left front outlet is a fitting only. The kit for the right side outlet to ice includes the fitting, a stainless-steel filter head,
(2) nipples and a check valve. The instructions for the installation clips are on page 5 (PTFE tape is not included).
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Be sure install the stainless steel fitting head with the flow arrow.
6. Remove the sanitary caps from the water filter cartridges, and apply a light coat of water or food-grade
lubricant to the o-rings on each of the cartridges.
7. Align the tabs of the cartridge with the slots in the retaining plate and insert the cartridge into the manifold.
Be certain to place the correct cartridges into the correct location.
8. Turn the cartridge to the right until a clicking sound is heard. Repeat for the remaining cartridges; the
clicking sound indicates the cartridge is properly engaged.
9. Install the smaller scale inhibitor cartridge by engagng the threads in the stainless steel tee and rotating to
the right (clockwise) until snug, regardless of final label orientation.
Equipment Start-up Procedure
1. Turn on incoming water to system.
2. Presurize system by rotating the inlet ball valve handle on the manifold to the right (counterclockwise) to
the “ON” position.
3. Check for leaks.
4. Flush system in accordance with performance data sheet supplied with the water filtration cartridges.
IMPORTANT NOTES
• Failure to follow instructions may void warranty.
• Allow a minimum of 3 in. (7.6 cm) clear space under filter to facilitate cartridge change.
• Install with the inlet and outlet ports as labeled. Make sure not to reverse connections.
• Some local codes may require the use of a licensed plumber or certified installer when disrupting a potable water line.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
•
Ensure that the location and fasteners will support the weight of the system when installed and full of water.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
•
Any non-metallic fittings used in the installations must be of adequate rating for the line pressure.
