do you change/replace the whole unit or an insert? does it take 1/4 inch pipe to connect?

Once installed you only have to change the twist off/on filter cartridge. The unit has push in connectors for 1/4 in tubing and little plastic locks/clips to lock the tubing in the unit. Mine is copper tubing and the unit is working fine.

Use a 1/2" npt union or better yet, get the valve kit so you can flush out the unit once in a while. Make sure you put a T&P; valve on the outlet side for safety. it will be part of the valve kit if you purchase it.

It has been some time since I installed this for my Daughter, but I think it is 1 1/4", I used an adapter and used 3/4" pipe in our situation, I probably would not use any smaller than 3/4 pipe tho,

You will need to use pipe adapters. I found the Youtube installation videos to be helpful.

All I did was connect the inlet and outlet pipes and it worked. I did not buy any other components. I hope this helps.

Mine was any easy replacement - it fit in place of the old one. I did have to borrow a large Pipe Wrench to loosen the fittings. Be careful not to over tighten when you install the new one.

I am using my existing 3/4 in pipe with a flange attached to it. Good luck.

It is a complete unit - ready to go. The connections are threaded flexible hoses so you will probably need to adapt your plumbing.

Unless you get to the existing plumbing and valve from the back (wall on the other side of the tiles), you will have to take out a few tiles around the existing valve to remove it and attach connectors that will connect to the two lines of this unit. I was able to do that and then I left the hole open since it gets covered by this unit

just spoke with hubby who actually tapped them out........he says you need to tap them out from the bottom to the top....diagram sent with replacement pipes is actually correct....he used a punch the second time..........if you use a screwdriver you need a small enough one to fit into those small holes that you see when you used the handle to pull the pipes up...................SUZ

None. I just unhooked the old one, connected the new one. Left faucet open for a bit, shut if off and I was done. It is working perfectly. Lots of pressure. If you let it completely empty every so often it will allow the bladder to last longer.

You may have to re-wire the lead; however, it all comes with the unit. It is just a matter of taking the wire nuts off to change to the new connection... a very easy process.

you will need a pex 1/2 inch female fitting to connect to the 1/2 inch male off the pump inlet and outlet with this you can use pex piping

You don't have to remove insert if used on copper pipe. Knob on other end does turn but are very stiff.

The out is 1/2 i.d. tube fitting on it but can be removed to have a 1in npt. You can get a bushing to do this at lowes to bring it to a 1/4 npt thats what I did.

I didn't install a NEW inlet. I bought this cover to replace a broken cover. I assume you want to run a new pipe to a new area?

It is 1/4, why would you want to change to 3/8? Unless you mistakenly think that it needs to be plumbed to your existing faucet? The unit has its own faucet, 1/4".
