4. Mounting the System
(A)
Center system between water supply adapter and drinking water faucet.
NOTE:
Allow 1-1/2 inches (38 mm) clearance below system for changing filter cartridges.
(B)
Install mounting screws at least 13-3/4 inches (350 mm) from cabinet floor and 4-1/8 inches
(124 mm) apart. Leave enough space (approximately 1/2-inch [13 mm]) between the head
of the screw and the wall to slip system onto screws.
(C)
Place system over screws on wall and slide downwards to lock into place.
CAUTION:
Make certain system is firmly attached to wall to prevent it from falling and possibly
being damaged.
5. Connecting the Faucet
CAUTION:
Do not over-tighten compression nut. Use caution not to bend or crimp tubes when
securing.
(A)
Determine the length of plastic tubing needed to connect the outlet (right) side of the filter
with the faucet. Measure tubing short enough to prevent kinking and cut the tubing squarely.
Screw nut of faucet stem hand tight, then unscrew two turns.
NOTE:
Compression nut should come preassembled with ferrules inside. If nut should come
apart, see figure 5A for proper assembly.
(B)
Push the tubing firmly into the end of the faucet stem. Hand-tighten compression nut onto
threads until secure. Then tighten 1-1/2 to 2 turns with wrench.
6. Connecting the Supply Adapter
(A)
Determine the length of plastic tubing needed to connect the inlet (left) side of the filter with
the supply adapter. Be sure to allow enough tubing to prevent kinking and cut the tubing
squarely. Place a mark 5/8-inch from the end of the tubing.
(B
) Wet tubing with water and insert into supply adapter 5/8-inch until mark is flush with fitting.
NOTE:
Disconnecting the Tubing from the Quick-Connect Fittings
Routine maintenance and cartridge replacement will not require that you disconnect the tubing
from the filter system; however, tubing may be quickly and easily removed from the fittings if
necessary. First, turn off the water supply to the filter. Open faucet, then press in the gray
collar around the fitting while pulling the tubing with your other hand.
7. Connecting the System
(A)
Assemble tubing with system as shown in Fig. 7A, inserting tubing into appropriate inlet or
outlet quick-connect fitting until it stops.
NOTE:
In some installations, connecting the system to the supply adapter and/or drinking
water faucet causes the tubing to enter the quick-connect fitting at a sharp angle. This may
exert pressure on the quick-connect fitting and cause it to leak. In these situations, you may
wish to use one or both of the quick-connect elbows included with the installation kit. Simply
push the quick-connect elbow directly into the quick-connect fitting on the system, then insert
the tubing into the quick-connect elbow.
(B)
When cut between a set of black guide arrows, the tubing should be pushed into the fitting so
that the entrance of the fitting falls between the next set of guide arrows (approximately 5/8
inch [16 mm]).
