FILTER CARTRIDGE INSTALLATION

H Do not turn pipe or fittings to tightly into the filter
head or you may break it.
H It is important to have some movement in the sink
cold water pipe. This will allow you to tighten the
union fitting, without damaging the filter head, if pipe
lengths are not exact.
H Before turning on the water supply, remove the
sump from the filter head and install the filter cartridge
(see below).
FIG. 1 and 4 is suggested. If using rigid pipe, be sure
to allow a minimum of 1-1/2" clearance under the fil
ter for sump removal when changing the filter car
tridge.
4. Use the plumbing procedures on pages 5 and 6 if
using compression fittings. Follow procedures on
pages 6 and 7 for sweat copper and threaded pipe
installations. Be sure water flow is into the filter in
let side, and from the outlet side, to the faucet.
5. Before turning on the water supply, remove the
sump from the filter head and install the filter cartridge
(see below).
