2. Faucet Installation 

Above the Countertop 

1.  Small Rubber Washer 
2.  Metal Faucet Hole Cover 
3.  Large Rubber Washer 

 
Below the Countertop 

4.  Plastic Locating Washer 
5. Metal Lock Washer 
6. Securing Nut 

 
Installed in/on tubing: 

7.  Plastic Tubing Insert 
8.  Plastic Ferrule  
9. Compression Nut 

  Slide the small rubber washer, then the metal cover, then the large rubber faucet over the mounting 

tube onto the faucet base, in that order so that the small rubber washer is on top. 

  Insert the mounting tube into the hole in the sink and position the faucet correctly. 

  From under the sink, install the plastic locating washer followed by the metal 

lock washer onto the threaded mounting tube, and secure them with the 
securing nut.  Screw on the nut and tighten. 

  Feed the compression nut onto the tubing, threaded side facing the end, then 

feed the plastic ferrule and install the tubing insert into the end of the tubing.  
Insert the end of the tubing into the faucet mounting tube as far as it will go 
then tighten the nut with a wrench. 

  The other end of the tubing should then be connected to the outlet on the UV. 

 
 
Note:  

Non-Air Gap Faucet – Comes with the system.  (Air Gap may be purchased separately - part number H-

T5022.)  Some states require the use of an air gap faucet.  Check your local plumbing code to assure 
compliance.   

 

Note:  

The plastic faucet bracket (included) may be used in locations where there is no countertop to 

install the faucet onto. 

 

Additional Point of Use Connection (Optional) 

 

Note:  

 To connect an additional point of use (icemaker, extra faucet, etc.), place an additional “T” connector 

in the ¼” line between the faucet and the RO system.  Ensure that all tubing and fittings used for RO product 
water are poly material, and not copper.   Due to RO product water being very pure, it can leach the minerals 
from copper tubing which will cause a metallic taste in the water or ice and cause the copper tubing to develop 
pinhole leaks over time.
