Make sure there is adequate space above the head to open and close the built in shut-off valve and to avoid crimping the water line tubing. Also, make sure your chosen location offers easy access for future cartridge changes.DIMENSION| Width| Mounting

BASIC INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CONTINUED
NOTE: Two sets of unions are included to connect to the 3/8inch head connections. If your existing braided tubing has 1/2-inch connections, use the 1/2-inch x 3/8-inch unions instead of the 3/8-inch x 3/8-inch unions. You will have 2 extra fittings with either
installation. The following instructions are for a typical installation using 1/2-inch supply lines.
A. Apply plumber tape to the small threads of one Union Fitting and screw into the open end of the Elbow. Wrap tape in direction of the threads to assure a tight fit and avoid small leaks.
B. Apply plumber tape to the threads of the Elbow Fitting and screw into the inlet (left) side of the Filter Head. Hand tighten only.
C. Apply plumber tape to the small threads of the second Union Fitting, and screw into the right side of the filter head in the same manner.
D. Securely mount the filter head on the cabinet wall using the enclosed mounting screws and washers. -
Connect Inlet Water Supply
E. Locate and close the cold water shut-off valve under your sink. Open cold water line of faucet to release water pressure.
F. Unscrew and disconnect the braided tubing on top of cold water shut-off valve.
G. Attach one end of the new braided tubing to the top of the cold water shut- off valve.
H. Attach the other end of the new Braided Tubing to the inlet side of the filter head (Union & Elbow Fittings). -
Attach Filtered Water To Cold Line of Faucet
I. Attach open end of existing Braided Tubing to Union Fitting on outlet side (right) of new Filter Head. Hand tighten to avoid damage to fittings. -
Install And Flush Filter Cartridge
J. Lift handle of the build-in shut off (QC Valve) on the Head.
K. Hold Head firmly with one hand.
L. Align cartridge lug with label on filter Head.
M. Insert filter Cartridge—Push upwards.
N. Turn it to the right—About 1⁄4 turn—Until rotation stops.
O. Open cold water valve and check for leaks up to Inlet Elbow Fitting.
P. Open Water Faucet (not pictured).
Q. Lower the QC Valve Handle to flush water to the sink.
NOTE: Flush new filter cartridges for at least 3 minutes to remove air and any loose carbon. At first the water may appear cloudy due to trapped air in the filter and tubing. If water continues to be cloudy for more that one week, please contact Pentair Technical Support for assistance: 800-279-9404
R. Activate Filter Timer by pinching bubble until you feel a change in resistance as the Filter timer “pops.” Within a few seconds, a thin RED line will appear in the white window showing the Timestrip ® has been activated. Peel away backing and adhere to desired location. When the white window is completely filled with RED, it is time to replace your product.
