6. Mount Faucet. Slide open side of Faucet
Mounting Nut onto reduced diameter (Fig.
5), un-threaded section of Faucet Stem
now beneath the sink, and slide the Nut
upwards to contact the threads. Then
carefully engage the threads, being careful
to not cross thread. Hand tighten as
necessary to hold the Faucet in place, but
do not use tools and do not overtighten.
Check alignment and position of Faucet,
and adjust as necessary. (We suggest
you practice threading the Nut to the
Stem above the sink, prior to the actual
installation, to become familiar with the
method before installing Faucet to sink.)
7. Connect Inlet and Outlet lines. Connect
free end of Thermoplastic Connection
Hose from Faucet Stem to Outlet (center)
Port on the Pressure Vessel. Tighten
securely.
Do not overtighten. Connect
remaining Hose from fitting on cold water
supply line to Inlet (outside) Port on top
of Pressure Vessel.
Do not overtighten.
9. Mount unit on the Residential Bracket
by placing the V-Clamp over the raised
section on top of the Bracket (Fig. 9).
10. Mount unit on the Clip Bracket as shown
(Fig. 10). A cotter pin or other pin, or wire
can be inserted in the bracket, above the
V-clamp to lock in place (see arrow) after
unit is completely on the bracket.
11.
Open the X-1F Faucet to allow air to
exhaust slowly. Open Valve on cold water
service line. Check for leaks. Allow water
to run for several minutes to clear line and
system of air and any loose materials.
Please note that for the first few days
you may see entrapped air bubbles within
the water. This is perfectly normal and
will cease after the unit has processed
several gallons of water. Also, some black
“fines” from inside of cartridge may flow
with the first few gallons of water. These
are harmless, if consumed, or may be
discarded.

8. Install Residential Mounting Bracket
(Fig. 7)
or Clip Mounting Bracket
(Fig. 8)
. Position Mounting Bracket on
the inside wall of the sink cabinet. Use the
Self-Tapping Screws to securely install the
Bracket. Make sure the Bracket location
permits access to the cold water valve
location and easy access for Cartridge
changes.

Seagull IV systems are intended to be
installed in the cold water supply line,
downstream of and above the cold water
shut-off valve inside the kitchen sink cabinet
(see pages 2 and 3). If pressure surges are a
possibility (municipal water supplies), install
a Pressure Regulator or Surge Protector on
the cold water supply line. Be sure to close
supply valves before installation. The cold
water supply line should be clean and free
of construction debris.
For Seagull IV X-1F system install an owner
supplied Compression T in the cold water line
to connect too the inlet port on the system.
For Seagull IV X-1B connect an owner
supplied hose from the cold water supply
line to the inlet port, and a owner supplied
hose from the outlet port to the existing
faucet.
