2. Verify Under-Sink Mounting Location
Measure 22”, 20”or 15” (depending on cartridge -see
dimensions below) from the base of the cabinet, and mark
the mounting location for the top of the filter head. Make sure
there is adequate space above the head to open and close
the built in shut-off valve and to avoid crimping the water
line tubing. Also, make sure your chosen location offers easy
access for future cartridge changes.

3. Mount Filter Head Under Sink
NOTE: Two sets of unions are included to connect to the 3/8-
A. Apply plumber tape to the small threads of one Union
B. Apply plumber tape to the threads of the Elbow Fitting
C. Apply plumber tape to the small threads of the second
D. Securely mount the filter head on the cabinet wall using
inch head connections. If your existing braided tubing
has 1/2-inch connections, use the 1/2-inch x 3/8-inch
unions instead of the 3/8-inch x 3/8-inch unions. You
will have 2 extra fittings with either installation.
The following instructions are for a typical
installation using 1/2-inch supply lines.

in direction of the threads to assure a tight fit and avoid
small leaks.

4. Connect Inlet Water Supply
E. Locate and close the cold water shut-off valve under your
sink. Open cold water line of faucet to release
water pressure.
F. Unscrew and disconnect the braided tubing on top of cold
water shut-off valve.
G. Attach one end of the new braided tubing to the top of the
cold water shut-off valve.
H. Attach the other end of the new Braided Tubing to the inlet
side of the filter head (Union & Elbow Fittings).
5. Attach Filtered Water To Cold Line of Faucet
I. Attach open end of existing Braided Tubing to Union Fitting
on outlet side (right) of new Filter Head. Hand tighten to
avoid damage to fittings.
6. Install And Flush Filter Cartridge
J. Lift handle of the build-in shut off (QC Valve) on the Head.
K. Hold Head firmly with one hand.
L. Align cartridge lug with label on filter Head.
M. Insert filter Cartridge—Push upwards.
N. Turn it to the right—About 1⁄4 turn—Until rotation stops.
O. Open cold water valve and check for leaks up to Inlet
Elbow Fitting.
P. Open Water Faucet (not pictured).
Q. Lower the QC Valve Handle to flush water to the sink.
NOTE: Flush new filter cartridges for at least 3 minutes to
remove air and any loose carbon. At first the water
may appear cloudy due to trapped air in the filter and
tubing. If water continues to be cloudy for more than
one week, please contact Pentair Technical Support
