Undersink Water Filter

MODEL FPWF-US2

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

PRINTED IN U.S.A. FP370 (Rev. 10/2/99)

The system and installation must comply with all state and local laws and regu-

lations.

“Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality

without adequate disinfection before or after the system.” Systems certified

for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filter-

able cysts.

Do not allow system or system components to freeze; do not expose filter

assembly to direct sunlight (ultra violet light).

Step 1. Install the Saddle Valve

NOTE: The saddle valve (Figure 1) clamps onto soft or hard tubing or

pipe from 3/8” to 1-5/16” diameter. It will make its own hole in copper

tubing, but not in iron or brass. For brass or galvanized iron pipe, drill a

5/32” hole in pipe before mounting saddle valve.

Risk of electric shock. If possible, use a hand or cordless

drill when drilling water pipe. If using an electric drill, be sure that drill,

cord and outlet are all properly grounded.

Shut off water supply to cold water line being worked on.

NOTE: Do not turn handle before installing or while installing saddle

valve. To prevent damage to piercing needle, make sure that piercing

lance does not project beyond the rubber gasket.

a. Clamp saddle valve on to copper tube with screws supplied.

b. Tighten screws evenly and firmly, keeping halves of bracket parallel.

c. When clamp is tight, turn valve handle clockwise to pierce supply

line.

NOTE: Leave handle in this position (valve closed) until filter installa-

tion is complete.

Step 2. Mount the filter housing to the wall using screws supplied. Allow at

least 3” clearance under filter assembly for cartridge changing. Connect

the yellow 1/4-inch water line to the saddle valve by inserting it into

the quick-connect fitting (Figure 2). Next connect the other end of the

yellow 1/4” water line to the left side of the filter unit.

NOTE: If you need to remove the water line from the quick connect fit-

ting, simply push the spring-loaded retaining ring while pulling the

plastic water line. For best results the outside surface of the plastic

water line should be smooth and free of scratches (Figures 3A and 3B).

Step 3. Install the delivery faucet in the sink (Figure 4). On stainless steel sinks

you can drill 7/16-inch hole in a convenient location.
