CUTTING THE TUBING
A
Determine the length of tubing necessary from
the filter head/bracket to the faucet and from
the water supply line to the filter head/bracket
by holding the tubing in place to ensure it is
the correct length.
NOTE: 6 feet of tubing is supplied. Cut the
tubing into two sections according to your
requirements.
B
Cut tubing.
NOTE: Do not kink tubing.
NOTE: Check the end of the tubing to make
sure there are no cuts, nicks, flat spots or
sharp edges. If any of these are present, cut
the end of the tube with a utility knife.
C
Measure 3/4” from the end of the tubing
provided and mark with a pencil.

INSTALL THE HEAD/
BRACKET
A
Using the filter head/bracket as a guide, mark
hole locations so that there is 1” between the
center of each screw. Fasten the filter head/
bracket to the wall with the Phillips screws
provided with the unit.
NOTE: Predrill 1/8” holes for
easier installation.
B
Make sure to leave at least 2-1/2”
from the bottom of the system to
allow for easy replacement of the filter cartridge.
C
Install screws only halfway so you can slip the
bracket onto the wall during installation.
NOTE: There are three installation configurations.
Select the appropriate screws for installation: For
Cabinet Side Wall Installations, use 1” screws; For
Drywall into Stud Installations, use 1-1/4” screws;
For Drywall with No Stud Installations, use lag bolts.
CAUTION: Be sure screw point does
not protrude through the wall into adjacent cabinet.
D
Tighten screws to secure the bracket.
