Mount the Faucet for Filtered Water (continued)
NOTE: The Faucet for Filtered Water in this package is designed to fit a 9/16” hole. Most standard sinks come with 1-3/8” or 1-1/2” diameter water
sprayer holes that can be used for mounting the Faucet. If the pre-drilled holes cannot be used or are not in the desired position, a new hole must
be drilled using either a 9/16” or 5/8” drill bit to accommodate the Faucet. The Faucet for Filtered Water base should be positioned securely on a flat
surface with adequate space for proper function. Consider convenience and appearance of the faucet before installation.

1
In order to prevent parts and materials from falling down the drain, line the sink with newspaper or a towel.
2
Apply masking tape to the area to be drilled in order to prevent scratching the sink surface or countertop if the drill bit slips
during operation (and to minimize rough edges).
3
Using a center punch, mark the drill hole. Use the 1/4” drill bit to make a pilot hole. Then use the 9/16” or 5/8” drill bit to drill the final
hole. Drill completely through the sink or countertop and smooth the rough edges with a file.
NOTE: Make sure that the Faucet for Filtered Water is assembled. The Faucet for Filtered Water Spout should be inserted into the Faucet
for Filtered Water Body and the retaining nut should be tightened until snug.

Guide the Black Rubber Gasket
E
onto the threaded Faucet for Filtered Water
D
Stem. Slip the threaded Faucet Stem into the sink or
countertop hole. Make sure the Faucet for Filtered Water sits flat on top of the sink or countertop surface.
5
From underneath the sink, slide the Metal Lock Washer
F
up the Faucet for Filtered Water
D
Stem. Then screw the plastic Faucet
Stem Nut
G
all the way up the Faucet Stem until it is flush with the Metal Lock Washer. Screw until it is slightly snug and check
to make sure the faucet spout is in the proper position. Using fingers, tighten the nut to secure the Faucet for Filtered Water to
the sink.
NOTE: Do not tighten the Faucet for Filtered Water Stem Nut with pliers as it may strip the Faucet Stem threads.
STEP
2
Install the Kitchen Faucet Adapter
NOTE: The Kitchen Faucet Adapter is designed to fit 1/2” NPTF supply threads.
1
Locate the cold water shut-off valve under the sink. Turn off the cold water supply to the sink.
NOTE: If uncertain about which line supplies the cold water, turn on the hot water to the faucet. Allow the water to heat up and carefully
feel the pipes under the sink. The pipe that remains cool to the touch is the cold water supply.
2
Turn on the kitchen faucet to release pressure and allow water to completely drain from the line.
3
Disconnect the cold water line from the 1/2” threaded stem on the bottom of the kitchen faucet.
NOTE: If rigid plumbing pipe (metal or plastic) is used, you may need to shorten the pipe using a hacksaw or pipe cutter to accommodate
the Kitchen Faucet Adapter.
4
Holding the Kitchen Faucet Adapter
H
in an upright position (see diagram), screw onto the threaded faucet stem.
5
Screw the cold water supply line to the male threads of the Kitchen Faucet Adapter using the nut that was connecting the cold
water line to the kitchen faucet previously. For a secure fit, tighten the nut using an adjustable wrench.
