space under your sink for the
filter unit that is at least 12 inches
from the bottom of your cabinet
and allows for easy access to your
cold water supply and for filter
replacements. Use the mounting
holes located at the back of the unit
to mark the wall screw placements
with a pencil.

leaks and proper installation: place a
towel under the filter unit and check for leaks.
Allow water to run for 10 minutes to flush
carbon fines.

white tubing (with threads of the nut facing the end of the white tube).
Next, slide the plastic sleeve onto the white tube. Place brass insert into the
opening of white tube. Push the tip of the white tubing into the opening
of the brass tee. While holding the white tube in place inside the brass tee,
tighten the compression nut to compress the plastic sleeve and create a seal.
NOTE: Use a wrench to ensure complete seal. Avoid over tightening.

Connect supply lines: insert tubing from
the tee fitting into the inlet side and
insert tubing from the faucet into the outlet
side. Use diagram on the right to mark tubing
depth to ensure they get inserted completely.
It is VERY IMPORTANT to insert tubing
completely so leaking does not occur.
