Instructions for Filter Installation
1. Turn off water supply; dispense water to relieve pressure.
2. Remove Y-strainer from the inlet tubing, see Fig. A for
operation of fittings.
3. Install filter with water flow in direction indicated.
4. Outlet of filter must be 2 inches higher than inlet to
prevent air from being trapped inside.
5. Turn water supply on, check fittings for leaks.
6. Dispense approximately 1 gallon of water to flush
any particulate from the filter.
Figure A
Quick Connect Fitting Hookup
1. For correct "leak-free" hookup, tube surface must be smooth
with no scratched or dents.
2. Damaged tubing, old compressions fitting "ferrules", etc.
must be removed.
3. Cut end of tube must be "de-burred". Burrs on the ends of
the tube end will cut the "O-Ring" seal.
