MOUNTING THE UNIT
Before mounting the unit, install the monitor battery. Remove head cover insert (2718) by gently pulling away the insert from the
head. Unwrap coin battery (2545) and insert into battery slot between contacts with + side out. Do not reattach the head cover insert
yet.
Locate best position for mounting unit undersink near faucet. The higher and closer to the front you mount the unit the easier it will
be for regular maintenance. There are 3 mounting bracket screw locations – 2 located on the bottom of the head cover and 1 is
located at the center between the two filter heads.
Note:
Screw holes at bottom should be at least 12 inches up from the base of the cabinet (you must allow at least 3 inches of
clearance below the cartridges for easy removal). Screw in the 3 screws making sure that the head assembly is level.
Now re-attach the head cover insert (2718), carefully aligning it so that the black button on the monitor lines up through the hole on
the cover insert.
Note:
If wall is too thin to accept screw then use round head nuts and bolts (not supplied) to mount head assembly.
CONNECTING THE FAUCET
Measure the tubing required to connect faucet to the white OUTLET Acculink™ fitting (arrow pointing away from the fitting) and cut
this length from the tubing supplied. Slide compression nut (726-0), sleeve (1008-3) onto tube and insert (1603) into 1/4” tube as
shown in Fig. 2.
Push tube into end of faucet shank and hold firmly in place. Now tighten nut securely with a wrench. Push the other end of tubing
into white OUTLET Acculink™ fitting as shown in Fig 5.
INSTALLING THE SELF-PIERCING SADDLE VALVE
The saddle valve (1008-0) can be installed on copper or CPVC rigid plastic pipe of 3/8” to 1” diameter. (Not recommended for flexible
plastic pipe such as PEX).
Note:
If your cold water line is other than described, use fittings (not included), that adapt the pipe size to 1/4” compression or
contact Envirogard for assistance.
Orient saddle valve with outlet threads pointing towards grey Acculink™ INLET fitting to prevent unnecessary bends in the tubing).
Back off handle on saddle valve to retract piercing tip. See Fig. 3 With rubber gasket in a fixed position clamp entire assembly to pipe
using bolts provided. Tighten bolts, keeping brackets parallel until rubber gasket is firmly compressed.
Caution:
Do not over-tighten
bolts.
Do not turn handle back in at this time.
Measure and cut length of 1/4” plastic tubing required to connect saddle valve to the grey INLET Acculink™ fitting. Slide compression
nut (726-0) and sleeve (1008-3) onto tube, then put tube insert (1603) into tube as shown in Fig 4. Push tube into end of saddle valve
fitting and hold firmly in place. Securely tighten the compression nut while holding other end of fitting with a wrench. Connect other
end of tubing to grey INLET Acculink™ fitting (arrow pointing towards the fitting) on head as shown in Fig 5.

CONNECTING TO THE ACCULINK FITTING
To ensure an optimal seal, tubing should be cut straight. An angled
cut or distortion of the tubing will not provide an efficient seal and
may cause a leak.
To install the 1/4” tube into the ACCULINK fitting, mark it 5/8” from
the end and
push it firmly 5/8” through the collet, past the “O” ring
until it seats on the tube stop
.
To remove, push in the collet with two fingers on two sides of the
tube and pull out the tube.
