(NOTE: The flow arrow embossed on the top of the head indicates the filter inlet)
Step 2 - Install the Water Supply Tee Connector
1. Turn off the cold water supply valve under the sink. If there is no valve, turn off the water to
your house at the main meter.
2. Open the cold water faucet to let off the pressure. Make sure the valve is off and the faucet
is not dripping.
3. Unscrew the nut that holds the cold water supply line into the pipe where you just turned the
water off from.
4. Install the Tee Connector onto the exposed threads and tighten. BE CAREFUL NOT TO
CROSS THREAD. **Overtightening will crack the plastic threaded push connector fitting.**
5. Screw water faucet supply line back onto the tee connector.
NOTE: Do NOT turn the cold water line back on yet, the water will flow directly out of the tee
connector and flood your kitchen.
Step 3 Alternative Option: Direct to Kitchen Faucet Install
If connecting directly to the cold water faucet and not using the provided water dispenser, use
the two fittings supplied with your Direct Connect Faucet Kit.
1. A stainless female thread x push connector (Connects to the water supply valve then to filter
housing inlet)
2. A brass 3/8” male compression fitting x push connector. (Connects to the cold water faucet
to filter housing outlet)
Step 4 - Install the Accessory Water Dispenser
1. Select a suitable location for the accessory water dispenser as close to the sink as possible
allowing convenient space under the sink for assembly. If not using the extra sink hole, drill the sink
top with a 1/2” bit to accommodate the inlet pipe.
2. Assemble the water dispenser to the sink top:
A. Insert the valve through the sink top with the rubber washer underneath the chrome plate on
top of sink surface.
B. Thread lock washer and brass/plastic nut onto the thread assembly underneath the sink and
tighten by hand and if necessary, carefully with a wrench.
C. Attach the push-fit faucet connector directly onto the metal pipe end.
Step 5 - Install Connecting Tube
1.Cut two pieces of the 3/8” plastic tubing to fit from the water supply to the inlet of the filter
housing and from the outlet of the filter to the water dispenser.
A. Tubing from water supply to filter housing inlet:
a. Insert one end of tubing into outlet push connector of the tee fitting.
(seat completely into push connector fitting), and insert lock clip.
b. Insert other end of tubing into inlet push connector of filter housing.
(seat completely into push connector fitting), and insert lock clip.
B. Tubing from filter outlet on top of the housing to the water dispenser.
a. Both ends of tubing are to be inserted into the push connectors.
b. Insert blue lock clips onto the sleeve of all push connectors.
