2. Feed water valve and tubing installation

Connect tubing to barbed hose connector on the diverter valve, pushing hose onto the barbed outlet as far as it will go.

3. Unit Installation

Place housing on counter next to the sink, so the spout drains into the sink.

4. Final tubing connections

Connect the other end of the tube to the barbed or John Guest fitting opposite the spout on the filter housing. Connect hose to the barbed fitting by pushing the hose onto the barbed end as far as it will go.
