Starting Your Installation
1. Shut Off the Water
a. Locate the valve in the cold water feed line you use for the supply.
Accidentally hooking up the system to the hot water supply line will permanently
damage the membrane (see conditions for operation). To assure you are using the
cold water line, turn on both the hot and cold faucet. After the water is warm to the
touch, feel the pipes under the sink. It will be easy to identify the hot and cold pipes.
b.
Close the cold water valve. Turn on the cold water faucet only to assure that the line is completely
shut off and the line is drained. If no shut off valve is located under the sink, or if water continues to
come out of the faucet, turn off the main supply at the entry to the house.
Feed Adapter Installation
For this, step, you will need:
o
Wrench
o
Teflon
Tape
Feed Adapter Kit
Blue Tubing
Slip Joint Adapter (with washer)
Ball Valve (with nut)
1.
Install the ball valve into the slip joint adapter.
Wrap the threads on the ball valve with Teflon tape, approximately 3
wraps. Screw the ball valve into the slip joint adapter.
2. Install the Supply Feed
Wrap the slip joint adapter with Teflon tape, approximately 3 wraps.
a.
Flex Line
: Loosen nut and separate cold water riser tube
from faucet shank. Gently bend riser rube so that slip joint
fits onto faucet shank. Make sure the flat washer is on top
and the cone washer is on the bottom. Reinstall riser tubes
onto slip joint adapter and tighten.
b.
Solid Copper Riser Tube
: Same procedure as flex tubing
except you must cut a piece of the riser tube about ¾” to 1”
so the slip joint adapter can fit between faucet and riser tube
