Undersink Water Filter
MODEL FPWF-US2
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PRINTED IN U.S.A.
FP370 (Rev. 10/2/99)
The system and installation must comply with all state and local laws and regu-
lations.
“Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality
without adequate disinfection before or after the system.” Systems certified
for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filter-
able cysts.
Do not allow system or system components to freeze; do not expose filter
assembly to direct sunlight (ultra violet light).
Step 1. Install the Saddle Valve
NOTE: The saddle valve (Figure 1) clamps onto soft or hard tubing or
pipe from 3/8” to 1-5/16” diameter. It will make its own hole in copper
tubing, but not in iron or brass. For brass or galvanized iron pipe, drill a
5/32” hole in pipe before mounting saddle valve.
Risk of electric shock. If possible, use a hand or cordless
drill when drilling water pipe. If using an electric drill, be sure that drill,
cord and outlet are all properly grounded.
Shut off water supply to cold water line being worked on.
NOTE: Do not turn handle before installing or while installing saddle
valve. To prevent damage to piercing needle, make sure that piercing
lance does not project beyond the rubber gasket.
a. Clamp saddle valve on to copper tube with screws supplied.
b. Tighten screws evenly and firmly, keeping halves of bracket parallel.
c. When clamp is tight, turn valve handle clockwise to pierce supply
line.
NOTE: Leave handle in this position (valve closed) until filter installa-
tion is complete.
Step 2. Mount the filter housing to the wall using screws supplied. Allow at
least 3” clearance under filter assembly for cartridge changing. Connect
the yellow 1/4-inch water line to the saddle valve by inserting it into
the quick-connect fitting (Figure 2). Next connect the other end of the
yellow 1/4” water line to the left side of the filter unit.
NOTE: If you need to remove the water line from the quick connect fit-
ting, simply push the spring-loaded retaining ring while pulling the
plastic water line. For best results the outside surface of the plastic
water line should be smooth and free of scratches (Figures 3A and 3B).
Step 3. Install the delivery faucet in the sink (Figure 4). On stainless steel sinks
you can drill 7/16-inch hole in a convenient location.
