Plumbing – Easiest way to attach this HDX inline filter to replace the American Plumber WICA inline filter

I threw out this American Plimber inline filter:

[WICA Inline filter]
[WICA Inline filter]

It was over a decade old, and yes I can replace it, but I'd rather use this HDX one:

[HDX Filter]
[HDX Filter Side view]

I have a torch and a hacksaw. I have plenty of slack in my copper line. I have the following collars and fittings:

[Collars]
[Fittings]
[Tourch]

Is the best thing to do just to saw off the plastic couplings and then soldier on the metal ones?

Best Answer

I was able to take off the plastic connectors on each end of copper. After that I realized since ther were push to connect then I could use push to connect on copper as well as flex line. At that point I cleaned the copper ends with a green 3m scouring pad, and installed the filter with no soldering and none of the brass parts.
