fitting must provide a leak-tight connection to the
water filter 3/8 in. tubing (D). A typical connection
using the water supply fitting (B) is shown in Figure
A. An optional connection using standard plumbing
fittings (not included) is shown in Figure B.
Installation using the Fitting (Figure A):
□Close the water shut off valve that is
immediately before the supply fitting and open
faucets to drain water from the cold water pipe
from the sink.
□Remove the nut that connects the cold water
faucet to cold water plumbing.
□hread the water supply fitting (B) onto the pipe
and reconnect the nut to the bottom of the
fitting.
Installation using Optio

type shown – Figure B):
□urn off the water supply and open a faucet to
drain the pipe.
□Install a fitting on the cold water pipe to adapt
