Under Sink Water Filter Installation Preparation 1. First, let's determine the under-kitchen compression water inlet size. You could find either a 1/2'' or 3/8 OD compression inlet valve under the kitchen cabinet. 2. Please pick out the suitable accessories and adapters that work best with your current under kitchen layout. 3. For 1/2" FIP outlet valve, please get the compression hose to 1/2" FIP adapter and adapter 3/8" ready. 4. For the 3/8" OD Compression outlet valve, you do NOT need to use any of the compression hose adapters. Under Sink Water Filter Installation Steps 1. The quick-connect connectors can be found on both sides of the filter head. Insert the inlet and outlet water hoses as instructed; push them in until you feel a "Click" action. 2. Find the desired location to mount the undersink water filter. 3. Place the installation template at the desire location with at least 4 inches of space between the bottom of the filter cartridge and the floor. 4. Drill through the holes marked on the template; leave 1/3" length of the screws outside for attaching the filter head. Remove and discard the template after drilling. If the water inlet valve is a 3/8" compression connection, you can connect the system directly. 1. Turn off the water inlet valve; leave the faucet ON. Place a towel under your water inlet valve to catch any dripping water. 2. Disconnect the faucet hose from the water inlet valve. 3. Connect the under sink water filter's inlet hose with the water inlet valve. 4. Connect the faucet hose with the under sink water filter's outlet hose to complete the set up. 5. Make sure the faucet is turned on and then turn the water inlet valve back on to flush the new system for 5 minutes to condition the new filter. 6. Turn off the faucet to pressurize the new connected system and check for any possible leakage. If it is a 1/2" FIP water inlet valve, please get the 1/2" FIP to 3/8" compression adapter. 1. Turn off the water inlet; leave the faucet ON. Place a towel under your water inlet valve to catch any dripping water. 2. Disconnect the faucet hose from the water inlet valve, attach the 1/2" FIP to 3/8" compression adapter. Make sure the O ring is in position; apply Teflon tape at a clockwise direction 7 times only if needed. 3. Connect the under sink water filter's water inlet hose onto the adapter. 4. Attach the 3/8" compression to 1/2" FIP adapter onto the filter system's outlet hose, then connect the faucet's hose. Make sure the O ring is in position; apply Teflon tape at a clockwise direction 7 times only if needed. 5. Make sure the faucet is turned on and then turn the water inlet valve back on to flush the new system for 5 minutes to condition the new filter. 6. Turn off the faucet to pressurize the new connected system and check for any possible leakage. Tips: It is completely normal for water to spurt out due to the trapped air inside the undersink water filter system.
