Procedure for Installing CFS6000 and CFS7000 Series Filter Systems
Before starting, close shut-off valve on cold water line
CFS6000 series and CFS7000 series - Bracket can be installed either up or down.
Step 1.
Attach the mounting bracket to the filter head with the two mounting screws (provided).
Step 2.
Install filter cartridge into filter head. (See Replacement Cartridge Change Instructions). Position filter
bracket by holding it up against the mounting surface. Allow at least 2” (5 cm) of clearance below the
cartridge to facilitate cartridge removal. Mark the mounting hole locations onto the mounting surface.
Secure bracket to mounting surface using appropriate mounting hardware. The unit may be mounted either
vertically or horizontally.
Step 3. CFS6000 Series -
The inlet/outlet connections are 3/8” female pipe threads. Appropriate fittings/piping/
tubing tools vary by requirements of each installation. The CFS6000 Series contains an internal shut-off
valve in the filter head, therefore, no external shut-off valve is required. Be sure to always use Teflon
®
tape
to seal tapered threads.
Important: Do not use acid base pipe sealers or wicking on plastic filter head.
CFS7000 Series -
The inlet/outlet connections are 3/8” female pipe threads. Appropriate fittings/piping/ tubing
tools vary by requirements of each installation. Shut-off valves should be installed on both the inlet and outlet
water lines. Be sure to always use Teflon
®
Tape to seal tapered threads.
Important: Do not use acid base pipe
sealers or wicking on plastic filter head.
Step 4.
Make any required connections and pressurize system to check for leaks. If none are apparent, flush new
cartridge for a minimum of five minutes to remove any trapped air or carbon fines. The filter system is now
ready for service.
