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 drain
pipe. 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 polytubing make
clean, square cuts, failing to do so could
result in poor connections and possible
leaks.
NOTE: 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.
Route the tubing to the Drain Clamp and
trim to length. Insert the tubing into the Drain
Clamp. Make sure the tubing is pressed all
the way in.
D. R.O. Manifold Assembly Installation
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 close 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
6" (15 cm) centers. Allow at least 4" (10 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

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. (Refer to Fig. 1.)
Refer to Fig. 3. 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. Remove the black
plug from the fitting labeled “Drain” on the
manifold. The end of the Black Drain Tubing
that should be inserted into the “Drain” port
will have a drain restrictor in it.
4. Locate the ¼" yellow tubing with the tee
attached to one end. Remove the yellow plug
from the fitting labeled "Out" on the manifold
and insert the tubing.
5. Locate the 3 /
8
" Blue Product Water Tubing
connected to the faucet. Firmly press one
end into the tee. (Refer to Fig. 1.) The fitting
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.
6. Hang the Manifold Assembly on the
mounting screws and tighten. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN.
7. Remove the wrapping from the
In–Line Activated Carbon Post Filter. Slice
the 3 /
8
" Blue Polytube where it would be
convenient to install and change the In–Line
Filter. Make a clean straight cut to insure
proper connections. The “Out” port on the
In–Line Filter should be towards the faucet.
Firmly press in the tubing. The fittings will
grab the tubing and hold and seal it in place.
Make sure the tubing is pressed all the way
in to create a pressure tight connection.
