INSTALLATION

Push Handle Faucet

For easier installation, attach all tubing prior to mounting the faucet.

1.  Insert polished faucet base (refer to figure H page 5) onto base of faucet.

2. Install the 1/4” yellow drain tubing onto the 1/4” barb fitting. This tube must be of sufficient

length to reach the yellow manifold drain connection.

3. Insert the white 3/8” tubing onto the larger 3/8”

barbed fitting, being sure you have enough tubing to

reach the drain saddle.

4. Slip the 1/4" and 3/8" tubing though opening in

polished faucet base (Item #1). Slide white plastic spacer

(Item #2) open-end-up onto the threaded faucet stem (Fig

6)

5. Thread the 3/8" washer (Item #3) and mounting lock

nut (Item #4) onto the threaded stem. (Fig 6)

6. Thread faucet quick-connect adapter (Item #5) on to

threads of faucet stem. NOTE: This connection should be

hand-tightened only. Push one end of 3/8" blue tubing

into 3/8" connection.

7. Insert tubing and faucet assembly down through the

sink hole.

8. Position the faucet to the desired handle orientation.

Slip the slotted washer between the white plastic spacer

and the sink. Securely hand tighten the mounting nut.

Hint: The airgap tubing connection is

located under the faucet handle.  By

orienting the air-gap from the underside

of the sink, your faucet handle should be

correctly oriented.

9. Connect the white 3/8” tubing to the drain saddle assembly using the drain connector nut

supplied.  This tubing should follow as direct a path as possible; long runs, looping or deep sags

will restrict normal brine flow to the drain.  Save the unused portion of the tubing for the installa-

tion of the storage tank.

10. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the O-rings located at the base of the

spout.  Firmly insert spout assembly into

 

the top hole of faucet body (approximately 1/4").  You

may swivel the faucet left or right.
