ed to backstop. Connect pipe
from water supply to "IN" port.
(See Figure 4.)

the house. It may be necessary to carefully spread pipe apart
in order to connect pipes. Keep filter head horizontal.

ply and check for
leaks. Run water for
5 minutes with an
open faucet to flush
out air.

IMPORTANT: Metal water piping systems are required to be
connected to the electrical ground. To maintain the ground
connection, obtain kit WHCF-GRND by contacting location
where filter head was purchased.Ground Kit Installation:
a. Install one ground clamp on the incoming metal water pipe
section and one on the outgoing metal water pipe section. Be
sure that the filter head, fittings and valves are between the
two ground clamps.
b. Connect the ground wire to the two ground clamps, using
the wire screw terminal on each grounding clamp. Tighten
securely.
Installation Instructions:
For Use With Cold Water Only
Tools and Parts Needed:
* MNPT - Male Nominal Pipe Thread
1. Shut off main water supply. Drain water from water lines.
2. Remove clear housing from filter head and set aside.
3. Wrap Teflon ® tape (2 1/2 wraps) around the 3/4” MNPT x 3/4”
fitting for copper pipe in a clockwise direction
(see Figure 1) and firmly assemble into filter head.
Do not use pipe sealant (dope),
as solvents in some types of
pipe dope may cause damage
to plastic fittings. Do not over-
tighten, overtightening can
cause damage to filter head.
4. Calculate proper spacing of
components (approximately 3/4"
of existing pipe inserts into each
fitting). (See Figure 2.)

• Properly tighten all fittings to ensure a leak-free assembly.
• Filter housing is intended for use on cold water line.
• Install in a location that is not susceptible to freezing temperatures
as damage to the housing could occur.

tate filter change.
• Some local codes may require the use of a licensed plumber or
certified installer when disrupting a potable water line. Determine
and follow any and all local codes and requirements.
