first, onto each of the pipe ends. Follow each

supply is going into the filter head opening
marked "IN".

10. Insert the copper pipe into the left-hand
compression fitting, making sure that the
copper pipe bottoms out inside the fitting.
Tighten the compression nut securely with
the wrench. Hold the fitting with a wrench
to prevent over tightening it in the housing.
11. Repeat Step 10 with the right hand compres-
sion fitting.
Risk of electrical shock. If
your water pipes are used to ground your
house's electrical system, install a No. 4
AWG jumper wire (or larger) around the fil-
ter . The jumper wire must be connected at
both ends by a regulation ground clamp
that satisfies NEC or CEC and local codes.
Consult a building inspector or licensed electri-
cian for more information. See Figure 5.
