Mounting Bracket to Cabinet Wall
The bracket can be used as a template for marking the location of the mounting screws. When determining the location of
the bracket, make sure you leave 1 1/2
″ to 2″ of free area under the sumps to allow for sump removal and enough space on
either side to make the tubing connections.

Tubing Connections – Compression Style
Run the length of the 3 ⁄ 8
″ tubing, connected to the bottom of the
faucet, to the filter system outlet (illustration above). Allow enough
slack in the tubing so that the unit can be easily removed.
Measure and cut the end of the tubing square using a sharp cutter
or knife. Remove any burrs (illustration A).
Inspect the end of the tubing, about 1 inch, to be sure there are no
imperfections. It may be necessary to cut the tubing again.
Slide plastic nut over the 3 ⁄ 8
″ tubing.
Then slide plastic insert into 3 ⁄ 8
″ tubing.
Insert the plastic tubing all the way to the bottom of the elbow.
Tubing must be fully inserted to avoid leaks.
Slide nut up to the elbow and thread on by hand until tight.
Repeat the procedure to connect the tubing between the filter system
inlet and the water supply/saddle valve (illustration in the Installation
Overview section).
IMPORTANT: Be sure to check for leaks at all connections. Tighten as
needed.
IMPORTANT: 24 hours after installation, check for any slow leaks that
may occur. Tighten connections as needed.
IMPORTANT: If unit is not going to be put into use immediately,
turn off the water supply valve.
NOTE: Avoid installing the unit where the tubing is pulled at a sharp angle.
This type of installation may cause the fittings to leak. If using tubing other
than what is supplied, be sure it is high quality, exact size and roundness,
and has a smooth surface.
