CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
•Do not use a torch or other high temperature sources near filter system, cartridges, plastic fittings or plastic
plumbing.
•Onplasticttings,neverusepipesealantorpipedope.UsePTFEthreadtapeonly, pipe dope properties may
deteriorate plastic.
•Takecarewhenusingpliersorpipewrenchestotightenplasticttings,asdamagemayoccurifovertight-
ening occurs.
•Do not install near water pipes which will be in path of a drilling tool when selecting the position to mount
the bracket
•Mountlterinsuchapositionastopreventitfrombeingstruckbyotheritemsusedintheareaofinstallation.
•Ensurethatthelocationandfastenerswillsupporttheweightofthesystemwheninstalled.
•Ensurealltubingandttingsaresecureandfreeofleaks.
IMPORTANT NOTES
•Failuretofollowinstructionsmayvoidwarranty.
•Allowaminimumof3”(7.6cm)clearspaceunderltertofacilitatecartridgechange.

CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
•Ensurethatthelocationandfastenerswillsupporttheweightofthesystem(Approx.10.5lbs[4.8kg])
when installed and full of water.
4. Mount the manifold/filter system to a wall using the mounting holes provided on the back plate of the metal
bracket.
•Itisrecommendedtorstdrawalevellineonthemountingsurfaceattheheightofthefasteners.
•Markthelocationofthefastenersusingthebracketasatemplateorbymeasuringthedistancebetween
the mounting holes.
•Installthefastenersandallow1/4”-3/8”(6-10mm)ofeachfastenertoprotrudefromthesurface.
•Installthemanifoldontothefasteners.
•Tightenthefasteners.
5. Installinlet(leftrear)andoutletttings(rightfront).Allconnectionsterminatewitha¾”NPT(male)tting.The
inlet kit includes the fitting and a ball valve. The kit for the right front side outlet includes the fitting, a stainless-
steel tee, a nipple, a check valve and another nipple. Refer to section “How to Use the Inlet/Outlet Fitting
RetentionClips”areonpage4.(PTFEtapeisnotincluded).
6. Remove the sanitary caps from the cartridge, and apply a light coat of water or food-grade lubricant to the o-
rings on each of the cartridges.
7. Align the tabs of the water filter cartridge with the slots in the retaining plate and insert the cartridge into the
manifold.
