Installation Instructions
- Select a location for the inline filter. Allow for adequate access for future filter replacement.
- Turn off the water supply to the tubing where the inline filter will be installed.
- Remove the plugs on both ends of the inline filter.
- Screw fittings into the filter, starting with the inlet fitting. Wrap teflon tape (not included) 2 to 3 times around the fitting before inserting it into the filter. Make sure to tighten, but not overtighten.
- Wrap teflon tape 2 to 3 times around the outlet fitting and insert it into the filter, making sure to tighten but not overtighten.
- Remove the existing filter, unhook your braided supply line from the back of the refrigerator, or if you have a plastic water supply line, cut the cold water tubing where the filter will be installed.
- If cutting plastic tubing, cut it square and cleanly. An uneven or rough cut may damage the internal o-ring and cause a leak.
- Connect the inlet side of the filter to the tubing.
- Confirm water flow matches the flow direction arrow on the filter.
- Slowly turn on the water and flush the filter into a bucket. Run the water for 5 minutes. Turn off the water.
- Insert the outlet line into the filter. If you have a braided supply line, you will need to connect a second braided supply line from the outlet side of the filter to the back of the refrigerator.
- Secure the filter to the back of the appliance or wall using adhesive tape.
- Turn on the water and check for leaks. Continue to check for leaks for several days.
