EWS, Inc. can not anticipate all the different locations, applications and materials used by your builder and/
or plumbing contractor regarding your household or sink piping, therefore we offer a generic and common fitting
with proper instructions. A qualified plumber, plumbing supply location, or hardware store will have no problem
with alternative parts and advice necessary to install your unit.
A more preferred method to connect the inlet supply line is to shut off
the water main and replace the entire angle stop. This will have a con-
nection from the house main water line, a connection to the cold water
side to the kitchen sink faucet and a much better connection for the
inlet supply to the filtration unit. This will provide one fitting with a shut
off to the kitchen faucet and a shut off to the filtration system. The
replacement of the angle stop is a better plumbing connection and any
number of fittings can be used for the correct application under any
circumstances.
Examples of common connections and fittings available:
•
OPTIONS:
1/2” IPS x 3/8” compression x 1/4” compression
3-way angle stop

Replace the Angle Stop with a Proper 3-Way Fitting:
There are a number of options to properly install any one of these drinking water filtration systems.
Identify the cold water supply line and then you will need to know;
•
Size or O.D. diameter of pipe or tubing
•
Pipe material (hard or soft copper, steel, brass, stainless, PVC, plastic, etc...)
•
The existing angle stop or fitting will assist in determining the proper 3-way angle stop or fitting needed for
your specific application
Professional Installation Using a Preferred Connection is Strongly Recommended
A qualified plumber should choose to connect the inlet supply water supply by a more preferred connection.
