INSTALLATION Culligan recommends that Preferred Series Drinking Water Filters be installed with a faucet dedicated to dispensing only filtered water. Such a faucet is available from Culligan by ordering P/N 01-0035-37*. Refer to the plumbing schematic shown in Figure 1 when completing this type of installation. Other recommended applications include point-of-use drinking water coolers, refrigerators, and ice makers. 4” (10.7 cm) Dia.

Select a location for the filter assembly which: • Provides a solid mount for the filter head. • Allows a minimum 2 inches (5 cm) of clearance under the cartridge. • Allows space for inlet and outlet water line connections. Note: The filter must be mounted vertically. 2. Provide an inlet water supply for the filter by tapping the cold water line. This connection should accommodate 1/4 inch O.D. polyethylene tubing and must comply with state and local laws and regulations. 3. Install the faucet or dispensing device according to the instructions provided with the device. 4. Refer to Figure 2 to determine the best filter bracket position to accommodate the water connections. 5. Install the 0.5 gpm flow restrictor fitting into the outlet port on the filter head using Teflon tape. Note: The restrictor is built into one of the elbow fittings. 6. Install the remaining 1/4 inch tubing fitting into the filter head inlet using Teflon tape. 7. Mount the filter head using the screws and washers provided. 8. Connect the inlet and outlet tubing to the inlet and outlet fittings of the filter. Double check the water connections to be sure that water will follow the direction-of-flow arrow on top of the head; water supply to inlet fitting, outlet fitting to faucet. 9. Install the filter cartridge as detailed in Figure 3. 10.Flush the cartridge for three minutes to purge the system of air. *Not tested or certified by NSF.
