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.
Firmly press one end of the tubing over the
3/8" drain outlet hose barb on the Air Gap
Faucet. Allow the tubing to relax, then
press firmly again to insure proper seating.
No connectors are required when attaching
hose to Hose Barbs. Route the tubing to
the Drain Clamp and trim to length.
•Refer to Fig. 4, page 7. To connect the
Drain Tubing, install the Compression Nut
and the Brass Insert.
•Insert the tubing into the Drain Clamp and
tighten the Compression Nut.
D. R.O. Manifold Assembly Installation
Locate the site per Sec. III, C.3, page 5.
Various installation sites will require different
types of mounting fasteners; be sure the fas-
tener selected will provide a firm, solid mount-
ing. A support panel may be necessary on thin
cabinet walls or to span between wall studs on
particle board 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 (5 mm) mounting screws spaced on
9 " (24 cm) centers. Allow at least 4" (10
cm) of clearance beneath the filter hous-
ings to accommodate filter changes. Mark
the two locations (the bracket can be used
as a template). Install the screws and tight-
en them until the heads are about 5/8" from
the wall.
2. Locate the " Red Feed Water Tubing.
Remove the red plug from the fitting
labelled “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, page 1.)
Refer to Fig. 3, page 6. To the end of the
red polytube install the Compression Nut,
the Plastic Ferrule, and the Brass Insert.
Connect to the Feed Water Saddle Valve.
3. Locate the " Black Drain Tubing. Remove
the black plug from the fitting labelled
“Drain” on the manifold and insert the tub-
ing. Run the tubing along its course to the
" Hose Barb on the Dispensing Faucet, trim
to length and connect by firmly pressing
over the barb. Allow the tubing to relax,
then press firmly again to insure proper
seating.
4. Locate the " Blue Product Water Tubing.
Remove the blue plug from the fitting
labelled “Out” on the manifold and insert
the tubing. Run the tubing along its course
to the Dispensing Faucet and trim to length.
Push the tubing into the faucet connector.
The fitting will grab the tubing and seal it in
place. Make sure the tubing is pressed all
the way in past the O–ring to create a pres-
sure tight connection.
NOTE:
If you want to pull the tubing out for
some reason, push the ring around the tub-
ing in and pull the tubing out.
5. Locate the " Yellow Tubing. Remove the
yellow plug from the fitting on top of the
manifold labelled “Tank” and insert the tub-
ing. (Refer to Fig. 1, page 1.)
6. Hang the Manifold Assembly on the mount-
ing screws and tighten. DO NOT OVER-
TIGHTEN.
E. Position the Drinking Water Holding Tank
and Make the Final Hose Connections.
1. Check the tank precharge pressure. Make
sure it is between 5 to 7 psig. If not, use a
bicycle hand pump or other pump to bring
the pressure up to the 5 to 7 psig range.
2. Pull the cap/plug off the top of the tank
where the Tank Shut–Off should go. (Refer
to Fig. 1, page 1.)
3. Wrap the white teflon tape, included in the
box, three times around the " male outlet
thread. Wrap in the direction of the threads
(clockwise, when looking down on the
Holding Tank). The tape will act as a thread
sealant. Screw on the Holding Tank
Shut–Off Valve.
4. Locate the " Yellow Tubing which is
attached to the elbow on top of the mani-
fold and run the tubing along its course to
the tank and trim to length. Insert the tubing
