Owner`s manual

NOTE: The type of plumbing in your home will determine whether you install your Drinking Water System using the:
A. Pipe Adapter; B. Saddle Clamp; or optional C. Extender tee adapter (available upon request). Included with your
Drinking Water System is one installation kit, which includes all of the fixtures and accessories which typically are used in
your area. If you determine that you need fixtures different from those included with your shipment, please contact Multi-
Pure's Customer Relations office at 800-622-9206, extension 175.
If your residence has a cold water supply line with a ½" slip joint connection,
you may use the Pipe Adapter to connect your Drinking Water System to the
plumbing. Drinking Water Systems shipped with Pipe Adapter components include:
Pipe Adapter components:
Shut-off Valve - MC1875 (#11)
Pipe Adapter - MC104 (#10)
3/8" polyethylene tubing, clear - MC232 (#2)
(for corresponding numbers, see diagram on page 4)
1. Install on the cold water line only.
2. Shut off your water at the plumbing shut-off (angle stop) valve under your sink. You
should have on hand a container to catch any residual water in the pipes.
3. Disconnect the cold water Riser/Supply Line by turning the slip joint nut, using an 8"
adjustable wrench and turning counter clockwise. The slip joint nut may be located any-
where on the cold water riser/supply line from the faucet stud to the angle stop valve.
4. Using the 8" adjustable wrench, connect the Pipe Adapter to the connection from
which you removed the slip joint nut. Be sure the rubber washer is in place in the Pipe
Adapter. Turn clockwise until tight; however, DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
5. Reconnect the plumbing riser/supply line with the slip joint nut to the Pipe Adapter. Be
sure that the supply line does not block the hole on the side of the pipe adapter. It may
be advisable to trim the supply line before reconnecting. Turn clockwise until tight.
6. Using an 8" adjustable wrench, connect the Shut-off Valve (shipped with the unit) to the
Pipe Adapter turning clockwise until tight, but DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
7. Connect the clear 3/8” plastic tubing, shipped with the unit, to the Shut-off Valve by insert-
ing the tubing through the small hole in the shut-off valve as far as it will go.
a. Cut (square cut) the tip ends off the tubing using a sharp knife. Do not use scissors.
b. The tubing must be fully inserted in the opening of the shut-off valve. It is recommend-
ed that you measure and mark the end of the tubing. The 3/8” clear tubing should be
inserted about 7/8”.
c. Push the tubing through the small hole in the valve until you feel resistance -- at this
point, the tubing is not fully inserted. Then push firmly until the tubing is inserted as far
as it will go (see item 7b).
8. Confirm that the Unit Shut-off Valve is in the OFF position by turning the handle clockwise
until it stops. If the valve is lined up with the adapter, it is “on”; not lined up is “off.”
9. To connect the clear tubing to your drinking water unit proceed to Section V.
