CHOOSE TYPE OF WATER FITTING TO INSTALL
Check and comply with local plumbing codes as you
plan, then install a cold feed (supply) water fitting. Refer
to the Specifications page for supply water requirements.
The fitting must provide a leak-tight connection to the RO
1/4" tubing. A typical connection using the included water
supply fitting is shown in Figure 5.. An optional connection
using standard plumbing fittings (not included) is shown in
Figure 5B.
NOTE: Local code may dictate which type of water fit-
ting is used. Consult a plumber if you are not familiar
with local codes or plumbing procedures.
NOTE: Codes in the state of Massachusetts require
installation by a licensed plumber and do not permit the
use of saddle valves.
If you live in the state of Massachusetts, review plumb-
ing code 248-CMR of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts before proceeding with the installation.
INSTALL COLD WATER SUPPLY FITTING
(Included with your package)
This fitting will be installed on the cold water pipe. The
fitting must provide a leak-tight connection to the Reverse
Osmosis 1/4" tubing. Locate the cold water line in the
sink cabinet. It is recommended, but not required, that the
cold water line be soft water.
Complete the following steps to install the water supply
fitting.
1. Close the water shut off valve that is immediately
before supply fitting 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. 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.
Complying with plumbing codes, install a fitting on the
cold water pipe to adapt 1/4" OD tubing. A typical con-
nection is shown in Figure 5B. If threaded fittings are
used, be sure to use pipe joint compound or thread seal-
ing tape on outside threads.
