Installation
Step 1: Tapping Into Cold Water Supply
Caution! The water supply to your RO unit MUST be from a COLD water line. Hot water will severely damage your RO
system.
Brass Water Feeder 3/8" – Water Supply Connection:
1.
Locate cold water shut-off valve under the sink or main shut-off valve and turn it off. Open the cold water faucet
to release the pressure and make sure there is no water running.
2.
Untighten compression nut or under sink shut-off valve. Place supplied gasket and install connector element.
Tighten firmly.
3.
Take the ball valve and mount it on the connector element.
4.
Connect the supplied line or under sink shut-off valve back to the connector element. Turn the ball valve handle to
close position and open main or cold water shut-off valve and check for any leaks.
5.
Use the Teflon tape for sealing the threaded ends.
6.
Connect ball valve with the RO system with ¼" plastic tube, which is a part of the RO system installation kit. Please
refer to connection schemes at the end of this manual for appropriate connection.

Step 2: Installing the Faucet
The faucet should be positioned with aesthetics, function, and convenience in mind. An ample flat surface is
required for the faucet base so that it can be installed firmly. Also, check the underside of the sink in the desired
location to see if there is enough space to complete the faucet installation.
If there is not enough space available on the upper sink area, the faucet could be positioned on the counter top at
the edge of the sink. Be sure to watch for obstructions below. i.e., drawers, cabinet walls, support braces, etc. If
the counter top is made of ceramic tile, the method for drilling the hold should be the same as for a porcelain sink.
Note:
The sink drilling process, although not complicated, requires a certain amount of caution and forethought. A
porcelain sink can crack if care is not exercised.
Drilling a Porcelain Enamel Sink / Stainless Steel Sink / Aluminum Sink:
A ½" hole is required for the faucet. It is recommended that you obtain a special ceramic drill bit for a porcelain
sink and tile counter. When drilling the faucet hole for the sink or counter, you should wear eye protection and
exercise caution by carefully following the steps below:
