Check and comply with national and local
plumbing codes as you plan, then install a
supply (cold) water fitting. The fitting must
provide a leak tight connection to the RO 1/4»
(6.35 mm) OD tubing, see Figure 20, page 13.
A typical installation, using standard plumbing
fittings is shown in Figure 5.
IMPORTANT: Before starting, close the
hot and cold water shutoff valves (See
Figure 5). Use a pan to catch water when
disassembling the pipe.
Complying with plumbing codes, install a fitting
on the cold water pipe to adapt 1/4» (6.35
mm) OD tubing. A typical connection is shown
in Figure 5. You can use solder or threaded
fittings. If threaded fittings are used, be sure
to use pipe joint compound or Teflon tape on
outside threads.
Do not connect the tubing to the fitting at this
time.
This will occur later in the installation (page 13).
