be in path of drill when selecting the position to mount the
bracket. Do not mount on refrigerator.
■ Mount fi lter in such a position as to prevent it from being
struck by other items, such as wastebaskets, etc.
■ Properly tighten all fi ttings to ensure a leak-free assembly.

facilitate fi lter change.
■ A water supply line must be run to the refrigerator (icemaker)
according to the refrigerator manufacturer’s instructions
prior to installation of this fi lter.

requirements.
Installation Instructions
For Use With Cold Water Only
NOTE: This product features an attached shutoff valve to turn
water off/on during fi lter replacement. This will allow you to
install product in any convenient location along the water line.
1. Turn off water supply to refrigerator.
2. Select location for fi lter assembly and fasten bracket.
Bracket may be installed in the up or down position as
shown in Figure 1, using the two Phillips mounting screws
provided. See “Installation Requirements” for areas to
avoid. Be sure to allow 2 1/2" of clearance below fi lter
assembly to facilitate cartridge change. Filter location
should be adjacent to water supply line.
3. Screw the 1/4" Male shutoff valve into the INLET port of head
assembly (see Figure 2). Hand tighten. NOTE: Inlet port is
marked “3.”
Screw the 1/4" male
push-in fi tting with fl ow control to the outlet port
(see Figure 2). If necessary, use adjustable wrench to
assist in tightening fi tting. NOTE: Outlet port is marked “1.”
4. Attach fi lter head assembly to the mounting bracket with 4
Phillips screws provided (see Figure 3).
5. Place catch basin nearby to catch water from lines
when cut. Cut water supply line to refrigerator icemaker.
(See Figure 4).
NOTE: Make sure you can connect line to fi lter head fi ttings
without kinking line. Do not kink tubing as this will impede
water fl ow. Use a utility knife for plastic lines or a tube
cutter for copper lines. Cut tubing straight. Remove any
burrs from copper tubing.
