Troubleshooting Guide

Water Leaks at Threaded Fittings: Tighten slightly more until leak stops. Water leaks at Push-in Connections Push tubing in as far as it will go.If leaking continues, shut off

water at the original valve and remove water line by pushing in on the connector collar while pulling the tubing away.Use a catch basin (See Push-in Fittings Section) Inspect tubing for cracks and scratches.If tubing is cracked or scratched, cut that portion away and reinsert tubing into fitting.

Make sure tubing is cut straight.If not, recut.

sure end of tubing is firmly seat-

ed to backstop.

Hold the filter head/bracket

away from the wall, press other

pression hex nut) onto the

tubing and put in the tube

insert (see Figure 5). Fasten

this assembly onto 3/8” cold

water supply outlet. Do not

overtighten (see Figure 6).

Overtightening will cause tub-

ing to separate from fitting.

Installation Instructions

For Use With Cold Water Only

NOTE: Remove items from under the sink. Place a catch basin there

to collect small amounts of water that may run out when disconnecting

water supply lines.

1.Turn off cold water supply valve and remove existing water supply

tubing and/or fitting.

2. Select and mark a location under the sink that allows access for fil-

ter change.

3. Using filter head/bracket as a guide, fasten Filter Head/Bracket to

wall with #2 Phillips mounting screws supplied.

Mark hole locations so that there is 1 1/2”

between the screws (see Figure 1), from

center of each screw. When installed, filter

bottom should be at least 2 1/2” from sink

cabinet floor to facilitate cartridge change.

Install screws, but only halfway, so you can

easily slip the bracket to wall before firmly

setting screws.

4. Determine length of tubing required from

filter head/bracket to faucet and from water

supply line to filter head/bracket by holding

tubing in place ensuring it is of appropriate

length. Do not kink tubing as this will impede

water flow.If necessary, loop tubing around

to avoid it being kinked.

Cut tubing straight with a utility knife or tube

cutter (for copper piping).(See Figure 2.)

5. Install faucet adapter fitting to faucet.This should be a snug fit. Do

not overtighten. (See Figure 3.)

Tools Needed:

Kit contains components necessary to connect 3/8” outlet tube to 1/2”

faucet fitting and 3/8” water supply. If you have any other size faucet
