Connecting the Faucet (diagram 5)
caution: Do not over-tighten compression nut. Use
caution not to bend or crimp tubes when securing.
(a)
Locate compression nuts in installation kit and fau-
cet package.
(B)
Attach compression nuts to faucet stem and Effec-
tive Life Indicator (ELI) and hand tighten. Then loosen
compression nut one full turn.
note: If the compression nut should come apart, refer-
ence diagram 5A for correct reassembly.
6.
Attaching Tube (diagram 6)
(a)
Attach tube to compression nut on faucet stem by
inserting tube into the compression nut opening. Gently
push the tubing until it comes to a stop.
caution: Tube must be fully inserted in the compress
on fitting base to the tube stop on the faucet stem and
on the outlet stem of the ELI.
(B)
Turn the nut hand tight.
(c)
Wrench tighten the nut 1 ½ to 2 turns.
note: All nuts must be retightened when the system
reaches projected operating temperature.
note: A squeaking sound when tightening the nut is
normal. If fittings are removed, Teflon® tape must be
used for pipe threaded connections.
note: Compression nut should come preassembled
with ferrules inside. If nut should come apart,
see figure 5A for proper reassembly.
(D)
Determine the length of tubing needed from the fau-
cet to the ELI and cut the tubing. A slight sag in the lines
will allow for some ease in installation. Insert the tubing
into the compression nut on the ELI. Repeat steps 6B
and 6C.
7.
Connecting the Saddle Valve (diagram 7)
(a)
Determine the length of plastic tubing needed to
connect the inlet (left) side of the filter with the saddle
valve. Be sure to allow enough tubing to prevent kinking
and cut the tubing squarely. Slide brass compression
nut onto tubing, followed by plastic ferrule. The long,
tapered end of the ferrule should face towards the end
of the tubing. Place insert into end of tubing.
(B)
Insert tubing into saddle valve and hand-tighten
compression nut. Using a wrench tighten nut
1 to 1 ½ turns.
