Connect one end of one of the pieces of the white plastic tub-
ing to the end of the faucet stem; See Figure 3.
1. Firmly push the poly tubing all the way into the faucet stem until
firmly seated.
NOTE:
The faucet stem has a quick connecting fitting (See Figure
4). If you need to remove the water line (poly tubing) from the
quick connecting fitting, simply push in the collet ring while gen-
tly pulling the poly tubing out of the fitting. See Figure 4.
Install the saddle valve; See Figure 5.
1. Locate and turn off the cold water shut off valve.
2. Install the saddle valve on the cold water line as shown in
Figure 5.
NOTE:
The saddle valve clamps onto soft or hard tubing or pipe
from 3/8” to 1-5/16” diameter. It will make its own hole in cop-
per tubing, but not in iron or brass. For brass or galvanized iron
pipe, drill a 5/32” hole in the pipe before mounting the saddle
valve.
Risk of electric shock.
If possible, use a hand or
cordless drill when drilling the water pipe. If using an electric drill, be
sure that drill, cord and outlet are all properly grounded.
Be sure the water supply to cold the water line is turned off.
NOTE:
Do not turn the handle before installing or while installing
the saddle valve. To prevent damage to the piercing needle, make
sure the piercing needle does not project beyond the rubber gasket.
a. Clamp the saddle valve onto the copper tube with the screws
supplied.
b. Tighten the screws evenly and firmly, keeping the halves of
the bracket parallel.
c. When the clamp is tight, turn the valve handle clockwise to
pierce the supply line.
NOTE:
Leave the handle in this position (valve closed) until the filter
installation is complete.
3. The filter cartridge comes preassembled in the filter housing. See
Figure 6 for the filter cartridge components.
4. Install the two threaded compression fittings in the Filter
Housing. See Figure 7.
5. Screw the fittings into the “IN” and “OUT” ports of the filter
housing. Use a wrench and tighten the two fittings into the filter
housing head.
NOTE:
The “IN” and “OUT” ports are marked on
the top of the filter housing.
