C. Drain Clamp Installation
Choose the drain outlet location per Sec. III, C.5. The following
are instructions for discharging into the sink drainpipe.
1. Position the Drain Clamp on the sink drainpipe above the drain
trap. Allow room for drilling. Tighten securely.
2. Use a battery powered or properly grounded drill. Using the
Clamp port as a drill guide, drill a 7/32" hole through the wall of
the drainpipe. Do NOT penetrate the opposite side of the pipe.
3. Locate the 3/8" Black Drain Tubing connected to the
Dispensing Faucet. Route the tubing to the Drain Clamp and trim to
length.
NOTE: When cutting the polytube make clean, square cuts. Failing
to do so could result in poor connections and possible leaks.
CAUTION: The lowest point of the line should be the point of
connection to the Drain Clamp. There should be no sag in the line
as this may cause excessive noise as the reject water is flowing to
drain.
• Insert the tubing into the Drain Clamp. Make sure the tubing is
pressed all the way in to create a pressure-tight connection.
NOTE: If you want to pull the tubing out for some reason, push the
ring around the tubing in and pull the tubing out.
D. Manifold Assembly Instructions
Locate the site per Sec. III, C.3. Various installation sites will require different types of mounting fasteners; be sure the
fastener selected will provide a firm, solid mounting. A support panel may be necessary on thin cabinet walls or to span
between wall studs on particleboard or drywall.
Do not drill through exterior cabinet walls or leave sharp wood screw points exposed in readily accessible cabinet interiors.
The proximity of a dishwasher or a trash compactor may require special fabrication of a mounting plate.
1. The mounting bracket will accept either #10 or #12 (5mm) mounting screws spaced on 7 1/8" (18.1 cm) centers. Allow
at least 2" (5.08 cm) of clearance beneath the filter housings to accommodate filter changes. Mark the two locations (the
bracket can be used as a template). Install the screws and tighten them until the heads are about 5/8" from the wall.
2. Locate the ¼" Red Feed Water Tubing. Remove the red plug from the fitting labeled “In” on the manifold and insert the
tubing. Reference the special supplement sheet in the carton for proper connection of all tubing and removal of plugs.
Run the tubing along its course to the Feed Water Saddle Valve, trim to length. To the end of the red polytube install the
Compression Nut, the Plastic Ferrule, and the Insert. Connect to the Feed Water Saddle Valve.
3. Locate the ¼" Black Drain Tubing connected to the Dispensing Faucet. The end of the Black Drain Tubing that should be
inserted into the “Drain” port on the manifold will have a drain restrictor in it. Remove the black plug from the fitting
labeled “Drain” on the manifold and insert the tubing. Allow the tubing to relax, then press firmly again to insure proper
seating.
4. Locate the
3
⁄
8
" yellow tubing, remove the yellow plug from the fitting labeled "Tank" on the manifold and insert the tubing.
5. Locate the
3
⁄
8
" Blue Product Water Tubing connected to the Dispensing Faucet. Firmly press one end into the elbow labeled
"faucet". The fittings will grab the tubing and seal it in place. Make sure the tubing is pressed all the way in to create a
pressure tight connection.
NOTE: If the tubing is to be removed from the fitting for some reason, push the ring around the tubing in and pull the tubing
out.
6. Hang the Manifold Assembly on the mounting screws and tighten. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
