INSTALLATION
CAUTION
CAUTION
CAUTION
CAUTION
CAUTION
NOTE:
• For standard under-sink installation on 1/2" 14 NPS
threads or 3/8" x 3/8" compression
• Please read all instructions and precautions before
installing and using your Filtration System
• Numbered diagrams correspond with numbered steps
1. Installing the Water Supply Adapter
The supply adapter fits 1/2"-14 NPS supply threads or
3/8" x 3/8" compression. If local codes permit, it may be used
to connect the system to the cold water supply line. If local
codes do not permit the use of the supply adapter, alternate
connectors can be obtained from your local supplier.
A. Turn off cold water supply line. If cold water line does not
have a shut-off valve under the sink, you should install one.
B. Turn on the cold water faucet and allow all water to drain
from line.
C. Disconnect riser cold water supply valve.
D. Ensure the sealing gasket is fully seated into the feed
adapter valve female thread.
E. Install feed adapter valve onto supply valve. Hand tighten
only.
F. Connect the riser to the feed adapter valve.
NOTE: See Figures 1G-1H for configuring the feed adapter to
3/8" x 3/8" compression connections.
2. Selecting the Faucet Location
NOTE: The drinking water faucet should be positioned with
function, convenience, and appearance in mind. An
adequate flat area is required to allow faucet base to
rest securely. The faucet fits through a 3/4" hole. Most
sinks have pre-drilled 1-3⁄8" or 1-1⁄2" diameter holes
that may be used for faucet installation. If these predrilled holes cannot be used or are in an inconvenient
location, it will be necessary to drill a 3/4" hole in the
sink to accommodate the faucet.
This procedure may generate dust which can cause
severe irritation if inhaled or come in contact with
the eyes. The use of safety glasses and respirator
for this procedure is recommended.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DRILL THROUGH AN ALL-
PORCELAIN SINK. If you have an all-porcelain sink,
mount the faucet in pre-drilled sprayer hole or drill
through countertop next to sink.
When drilling through a countertop, make sure the
area below the drilled area is free of wiring and
piping. Make certain you have ample room to make
the proper connections to the bottom of the faucet.
Do not drill through a countertop that is more than
1" thick.
Do not attempt to drill through a tiled, marble,
granite or similar countertop. Consult a plumber
or the countertop manufacturer for advice or
assistance.
A. Line bottom of sink with newspaper to prevent metal
shavings, parts, or tools from falling down the drain.
B. Place masking tape over the area to be drilled to prevent
scratches if drill bit slips.
C. Mark hole with center punch. Use a 1/4" drill bit to drill
pilot hole.
D. Use a 3/4" drill bit and drill a hole completely through sink.
E. Smooth rough edges with a file.

5/8" mark should be flush with the collar of the connector.
NOTE: To remove the tube, push on the fittings' collar and pull
the tube out.
E. Holding the faucet, feed the tubing through the hole in the
sink. Position the faucet handle at a desired location.
F. Center the faucet and slip slotted disc between the bottom
of the counter or sink and lock washer. Tighten the stem
nut with a wrench until it is tight.
G. Firmly insert spout into faucet base.
4. Mounting the System
A. Select a location under the sink, or other suitable area
where the system will be installed.
NOTE: The system carton can be used to determine the
operational footprint required for installation of the
system and replacement cartridges. (Figure 4a)
B. Mount the system vertically. Dimensions in the diagram
allow for cartridge or system removal. Ensure mounting
is level. Use the 3/32" drill bit to create pilot holes for the
mounting (Figure 4b).

5. Connecting the Faucet to the System
A. Determine the length of plastic blue tubing needed to
connect to the outlet (right) side of the filter from the
faucet. Be sure to allow enough tubing to prevent kinking
and cut the tubing squarely. Use a marker to mark one end
of the tubing 5/8" from the end (Figure 5). Wet the end of
the 3/8" tube and push into the outlet (right) connection of
the system up to the mark.
Do not bend or crimp tube inserting.
B. Gently pull back on the tube to ensure it is connected
properly.
6. Connecting the Supply Adapter
A. Determine the length of plastic white tubing needed
to connect the inlet (left) side of the filter with the feed
adapter installed on the cold water supply line. Be sure to
allow enough tubing to prevent kinking and cut the tubing
squarely. Place a mark 5/8" from one end of the tubing. Wet
the end of the tubing. Insert the end of the tubing into the
3/8" fitting of the inlet supply adapter. The 5/8" mark should
be flush with the collar of the fitting located on the inlet
supply adapter (Figure 6a).
B. Mark the remaining end of the tubing. Use a marker to
mark 5/8" from the end. Wet the end of the tube. Insert the
end into the feed connection on the inlet side (left) of the
system. The tube should go in up to the mark. (Figure 6b).
7. Placing the System into Operation
A. Slowly turn on the cold water supply. Ensure that the feed
adapter valve is also open.
B. Open faucet and flush filter for 10 minutes. Discard water.
C. Check for leaks at all fittings before leaving installation. If leaks
appear, see Troubleshooting.
