Installation
Install Cold Water Supply Fitting
Check and comply with local plumbing codes as you plan, then install a cold teed (supply) water fitting.
The fitting must provide a leak-tight connection to the RO 1/4" tubing. A typical connection using the
cold water supply fitting (provided) is shown in Figure 3A. An optional connection, using standard
plumbing fittings (not provided), is shown in Figure 3B.
Cold water supply fitting:
1. Close the house main water shutoff valve, or shutoff valve on cold water line being connected to,
and open faucets to drain water from the sink cold water pipe.
2. Remove nut that connects the cold water faucet to cold water plumbing.
3. Use pipe joint compound or Tcflon tape on cold water faucet stud threads and on the male threads
of the water supply fitting that connect to the cold water pipe.
4. Thread water supply fitting onto pipe and reconnect nut to bottom of fitting.
Optional Pipe Fittings (compression type shown):
NOTE: Be sure to turn off the water supply and open a faucet to drain the pipe.
Install a fitting on the kitchen cold water pipe to adapt 1/4" OD tubing. A typical connection is
shown in Figure 3B. If threaded fittings are used, be sure to use pipe joint compound or Tcflon tape
on male threads.
