CUTTING THE TUBING
Determine the length of tubing necessary from
the filter head/bracket to the faucet and from the
water supply line to the filter head/bracket by
holding the tubing in place to ensure it is the
correct length.
NOTE: 6 feet of tubing is supplied. Cut the
tubing into two sections according to your
requirements.
Cut tubing.
NOTE: Do not kink tubing.
NOTE: Check the end of the tubing to make sure
there are no cuts, nicks, flat spots or sharp edges.
If any of these are present, cut the end of the
tube with a utility knife.

INSTALL THE HEAD/BRACKET
Using the filter head/bracket as a guide, mark hole
locations so that there is 1
″
between the center of
each screw. Fasten the filter head/bracket to the
wall with the Phillips screws provided with the unit.
NOTE: Predrill 1/8
″
holes for easier installation.
Make sure to leave at least 2-1/2
″
from the bottom of the system
to allow for easy replacement
of the filter cartridge.
Install screws only halfway so you can slip the
bracket onto the wall during installation.
NOTE: There are three installation configurations.
Select the appropriate screws for installation: For
Cabinet Side Wall Installations, use 1
″
screws; For
Drywall into Stud Installations, use 1-1/4
″
screws;
For Drywall with No Stud Installations, use lag bolts.
CAUTION: Be sure screw point does not protrude
through the wall into adjacent cabinet.
