Installation on 3/4” Copper Pipe:
(See Figure 4)
5A. Place the compression nuts on the pipe, small end first. Follow
the lock nuts with the brass compression sleeves (one for each
cut pipe end). Slide each brass compression sleeve up 1/4” from
the cut end of the pipe (see Figure 4).
5B. Place the filter (with its fittings) in position on the pipe. Be sure
that the port marked “IN” is on the side toward the water meter
so that the flow enters the filter through this port.
5C. Insert the copper pipe into the inlet, making sure that the cop-
per pipe bottoms out inside the filter head. Tighten the com-
pression nut securely with the wrench. Hold the fitting with a
wrench to prevent overtightening it in the filter head.
5D. Repeat Step 3 with the outlet compression fitting, sleeve, and
compression nut. Skip to Step 6 under “All Installations”.
NOTICE:
Support the water pipes as needed on both sides of the
filter head assembly.
Installation on Galvanized Pipe:
(See Figure 5)
5A. Thread the cut pipe ends and clean all traces of cutting oil, rust,
hardened pipe compound, etc., from all threads that will be
attached to the unit. Clean the pipe threads with paint thinner or
solvent (NOT gasoline) and dry them with a clean rag; remove all
chips; polish and deburr. Apply Teflon™ tape three turns around
the threads of the pipe coming from the water meter. Use only
teflon tape (without adhesive backing) on the pipe threads
attached to this unit.
5B. Using the “IN” port, hand screw the filterhead assembly onto the
water pipe until it is tight. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
5C. Wrap three turns of Teflon™ tape around each end of the 2” pipe
nipple and screw one end into the “OUT” port on the filter head
assembly.
5D. Screw the union onto the other end of the nipple.
5E. Wrap the remaining pipe thread with teflon tape and screw the
other side of the union onto the pipe until tight.
5F. Assemble the union and tighten the large nut securely. Make sure
that the pipe ends align and that the union is clean for a water-
tight fit (no tape or compound on the union-half threads).
