Step 5
Install Blue Plastic Tubing for Water Supply Line from System Head Outlet to Faucet
1. Determine the length of blue tubing (
C5
) necessary to connect
the system head outlet to the threaded faucet stem making
sure to allow enough tubing to prevent kinking in the line.
2. Cut the tubing squarely on both ends. Use a tubing cutter to
ensure a square cut.
3. Without bending or crimping the tubing, wet one end of the
tubing with water and push it into the system head outlet (right
side of system head) until it stops. Secure with clip (
C7
).
4. Gently slide the compression nut along the tubing. Press the
plastic ferrule into the blue tubing fully. The plastic
compression sleeve goes over the tubing, between the
compression nut and faucet stem.
5. Firmly push the tubing into the end of the threaded faucet stem hand-tightening the plastic compression
nut onto the threads. Tighten approximately ½ turn with an adjustable wrench.
Step 6
Install Twist-Lock Filters
Note: When viewing the system from the front, cartridge B1 (RED) should be positioned on the far left, followed
by cartridges B2 (WHITE), and B3 (ORANGE) from right to left. The furthest right cartridge should be the B3
(ORANGE).
1. Hold cartridge under the appropriate part of the head with the label facing left.
2. Lift each cartridge straight up into the system head until the two extended flanges on top of cartridge
are fully engaged into the system head.
3. Turn the cartridge counter-clockwise until it stops.
4. Repeat 1-3 for each cartridge.
Step 7
Test the Filter System for Proper Operation
1. Turn on the cold water shut-off valve under the sink.
2. Turn on the new faucet for filtered water. Allow the water to run for approximately 10 minutes in order
for the filter system to flush out any air and carbon fines (fine black powder from each cartridge).
3. Check for any leaks between the system head assembly and filters, on kitchen faucet adapter
connection, around all fittings and on faucet/tubing connection.
