y
Pipe wrenches
y
Adjustable wrenches
y
Level
y

Electrical
Ensure that the line voltage corresponds to the stated voltage
on the units specification label. Make sure that the plug on the
power cord from the system and the outlet match. For proper
operation, and to ensure the highest quality water from the sys-
tem, make sure that the system is not connected to a switched
electrical outlet.
Plumbing
NOTE:
This unit is designed to use tap water not to exceed
100°F (38°C) or 100 psig (690 kPa).
The UF-216CC system uses the following connections (Fig-
ure 1):
y
Water Inlet
y
Permeate (Product Water)
y
Drain
1/2” NPT
1/2” NPT
1/2” NPT
When making a plumbing connection to the system, remember
to use a back-up wrench on the supporting plumbing. Always
use a good quality, approved pipe sealant or thread seal tape on
pipe threads. Be careful not to get the pipe sealant inside the
pipe when making the connections.
Do NOT over tighten the connections. It is recommended that
plastic fittings be used when connecting to the plastic connec
-
tions of the system. This will reduce the possibility of cracking
the connections due to overtightening.
If soldered plumbing is used, do NOT apply heat to, or near, the
filtration system. The use of union (O-ring seal) connections is
highly recommended for ease of installation and future servicing.
CAUTION
This equipment is to be installed to comply with the basic
plumbing code of the Building Officials and Code Administra
-
tors, Inc. (BOCA) and the Food Service Sanitation Manual of
the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
CAUTION
Water pressure must not exceed 100 psig (690 kPa). To re-
duce water pressure, install a water pressure regulator and
set water pressure to suit application. Note that the trans
membrane pressure must not exceed 45 psi (310 kPa).
IMPORTANT
Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing Code 248 CMR
shall be adhered to. The use of saddle valves are not permit-
ted, please consult your local plumber.
Mounting the System
The UF-216CC system comes with a Mounting Bracket to
mount the system securely. When mounting the system, pay
attention to the following guidelines:
y
Note the location of the water supply,
drain, and an appropriate electrical outlet
when choosing a mounting location.
y
Allow sufficient access for cartridge replacement.
y
Mount the system near but NOT above
an appropriate electrical outlet.
y
Do NOT mount the system above any
electrical equipment or items that may
be damaged if they get wet.
y
Mount the system near a drain for flushing operations.
y
Mount the system before all consumable water
filtration processes.
y
Secure the Mounting Bracket into wall studs or with
the appropriate heavy duty mounting hardware.
The system is pre-assembled to a Mounting Bracket. The
Mounting Bracket has mounting holes to secure the bottom of
the system to the wall.
Inlet Water Plumbing
The Inlet water plumbing line should be 1/2 ” NPT or larger. A
shutoff valve (not supplied) should be installed in the line lead
-
ing to the system. The valve should be mounted close to the
system inlet and sized properly for the inlet plumbing line.
An optional “T” or Cross Fitting with cap or plug can be
installed between the Inlet Valve and the System Inlet. This
fitting can be used for draining and sanitizing the system and
downstream plumbing.
The system should only be connected to the cold water line.
Before connecting the fitting to the System Inlet, the plumb
-
ing to the system must be flushed clear of all debris. Hold a
bucket at the inlet water line and slowly open the Inlet Water
Valve. Allow the pipe to flush until all debris is removed.
