NOTE: The Water Guardian Drinking Water Appliance is easy to install on most standard faucets.
And, it includes a feature that makes it easy to switch from filtered to unfiltered water.
Step 4 Remove the aerator or screen from the end of your faucet. The water at your sink should
be turned off.
Step 5 Attach the Diverter Valve directly to the faucet spout. If the threads of the Diverter Valve
don't match the threads of your faucet, use one of the adapters provided with your unit.
a. Faucets with Outside Threads: For most faucets with outside threads, the diverter
valve can be attached directly to the faucet. However, if the Diverter Valve is smaller
than your faucet, attach the adapter with inside threads directly to your faucet and then
attach the Diverter Valve to the adapter.
b. Faucets with Inside Threads: If your faucet has threads on the inside, attach one of the two adapters with out-
side threads (choose the appropriate size for your faucet) directly to your faucet and then attach the Diverter
Valve to the adapter.
c. Faucets with No Threads: If your faucet has no threads, you will need to contact your independent dealer.
d. Faucets with Odd Sized Threads: If your faucet does not fit any of the adapters provided with your unit, please
contact your independent dealer.
e. Faucets requiring more clearance for the connection, such as sprayer hose faucets, would use a long adapter
(MC257). See Step 5.e. on next page for installation instructions.

hose into the inlet and outlet ports.

pushing the stem straight into the connector as far as it will go. Give a
second push to confirm that the stem is fully inserted.
