Water Supply Requirements
If local codes permit, the hot water dispenser faucet tube should
be connected to
¹⁄₄
" (6.4 mm) tube (not provided), which is
connected to the cold water supply line using a saddle valve (not
provided) or another means to connect the
¹⁄₄
" (6.4 mm) tube to
the cold water supply line. If a saddle valve is used, do not use a
piercing type or
³⁄₁₆
" (4.8 mm) saddle valve, which reduces water
flow and clogs more easily.
IMPORTANT:
■
If local codes do not permit the use of saddle valves, special
feed valves can be obtained from your local plumbing supply
distributor.
■
Connection to the hot water line is not recommended. Energy
will be wasted in heating the water twice and may produce an
undesirable taste.
■
A water filter is recommended if your water supply contains
sand, grit or other particles, or has a known taste or odor
issue. If a water filter system is used, the water pressure to
the hot water dispenser system from the filter needs to be a
minimum of 20 psi (138 kPa) for proper operation.
■
If the water pressure to the hot water dispenser system is less
than 20 psi (138 kPa), performance may be affected.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Inspect Shipment
■
This hot water dispenser is shipped in one package.
■
Upon receipt of the hot water dispenser, inspect it for
possible shipping damage. Examine the hot water dispenser
inside the carton if the carton is damaged.
■
If damage is found, it should be noted on the carrier’s freight
bill. Damage claims should be filed with the carrier
immediately. Claims of shortages should be filed with the
seller within 5 days.
NOTE:
If any damages are discovered and reported to the carrier,
do not install the hot water dispenser, because your claim may be
denied.
Install the Faucet
NOTE:
The hot water dispenser is not a water purifier. Some
installations may require a water filtering system to improve the
quality of the water.

Determine the final location of the hot water dispenser faucet.
Check below the sink to verify that reinforcing ribs, support
brackets or cabinet construction will not interfere with the hot
water dispenser faucet.

of the following:
■
Remove the plug from the sink.

Straighten tube so that it will go through the hole in the sink
or countertop.
