INSTALL FILTER ON PIPE
1
. Apply at least 4 wraps of Teflon tape to the threads
of both compression fittings.
NOTE:
If your installation will use the mounting brack-
et, position it correctly around the ASF
before
installing inlet and outlet fittings. The bracket
can not be put on after the inlet and outlet fit-
tings are installed.
2
. Carefully turn the compression fittings into the water
filter head inlet and outlet and tighten. Do not
cross-thread and damage the threads. Do not over-
tighten and crack the head.
3
. Remove the nut and brass ferrule from both com-
pression fittings and set aside. Using a tape meas-
ure or ruler, measure the distance “D” as shown in
Figure 10). Mark this dimension at right so you do
not forget.

.
IMPORTANT:
Turn off the water supply to the main
pipe. Open a high and low faucet in the water sys-
tem to drain the pipe.
5
. On the main water pipe, where you will install the fil-
ter, mark the dimension “D”. You will remove this
section of pipe. Before you begin to cut, double-
check your measurement.
6
. Use a tubing cutter to remove the section of pipe.
Remove all burrs and rough edges with the sandpa-
per or emery cloth.
7
. Place a nut and brass ferrule from compression fit-
tings onto both pipe ends (See Figure 11).

INSTALLATION USING COMPRESSION FITTINGS
NOTE
for all types of

It is important to use
an adequate amount
of Tef lon tape or pipe
sealant, and to tight-

sufficiently. It may be
necessary to apply
additional Teflon tape
or pipe sealant if
connectors do not
seal properly.
