Precaution before connecting the carbon filter system to the connector kit:
• Check to ensure that all O-rings are in perfect condition.
• Lubricate the O-rings and contact surfaces with 100% silicone grease.
When removing the securing clip:
• Turn off the water supply and relieve the internal pressure on the valve.
• Push the connector kit towards the control valve to help loosen the sealing ring which may
be seated tightly.
• Place a screwdriver under the top end of the U-clip to help lift and remove the clip.
Installation of drain pipe
Drain pipe connection and installation instruction are as shown in the figure below:
• Wrap the threaded end of the flow controller with Teflon tape.
• Tighten the two components of drain connector kit by hand.
• Insert the drain connector kit onto the drain opening of the carbon filter.
• Insert the drain connector clip to secure the connection.
• Cut a suitable length of ½” flexible hose and connect it to the drain secure it with a cable tie.
• Secure the discharge end of the drain line to prevent it from moving.
NOTE: Waste connections or drain outlet shall be designed and constructed to provide for
connection to the sanitary waste system through an air gap of two pipe diameters or one
inch (22 mm), whichever is larger.
WARNING: Never insert drain line directly into a drain, sewer line, or trap (Figure above
Drain Line Connection). Always allow an air gap between the drain line and the wastewater
to prevent the possibility of sewage being back-siphoned into the filter.
