drill. Using the Clamp port as a drill guide,  

drill a

pipe. Do NOT penetrate the opposite side of 

the pipe. 

3.  Locate the

" Black Drain Tubing connected 

to the Dispensing Faucet. Route to 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. 

 

CAUTION:

 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.
•Refer to Fig. 4. Insert the tubing into the 

Drain Clamp. Make sure the tubing is 

pressed all the way in to create a pressure 

tight connection.

NOTE: If you want to pull the tubing out for 

some reason, push the ring around the 

tubing in and pull the tubing out.

D.  R.O. Manifold Assembly Installation 

  Locate the site per Sec. III, C.3. 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

" from the wall.

2.  Locate the ¼" 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) 

  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 labelled “Drain” on the 

manifold and insert the tubing. The end of the 

Black Drain Tubing that should be inserted 

into the “Drain” port will have a green drain 

restrictor in it. If tubing needs to be trimmed 

to length, carefully slit ¼" Black Drain Tubing 

end that has the green drain restrictor in it 

being careful not to damage the hose barb 

on the drain restrictor. Remove restrictor from 

tubing, make a square cut, and reinsert the 

drain restrictor. Allow the tubing to relax, then 

press drain restrictor firmly again to insure 

proper seating.

4.  Locate the ¼" yellow tubing with the tee 

attached to one end. Remove the yellow plug 

from the fitting labelled "Out" on the manifold 

and insert the tubing.

5.  Locate the

" Blue Product Water Tubing 

attached to the Dispensing Faucet. Firmly 

press one end into the tee. (Refer to Fig. 1.) 

The fittings 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. 

 

NOTE:

 If you want to pull the tubing out 

for some reason, push the ring around the 

tubing in and pull the tubing out. 

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

" 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.
