INSTALLATION continued  

 

 

3. Mounting the Faucet

 

A.  Pre-assemble the base. The rubber washer should be 

B

 

in place below the base. The two toggle bolts should be

 

inserted through the base and the rubber washer. The 
bolts are screwed into the spring-loaded toggle.

 

B.  Place the base assembly over the hole in the sink. The 

two toggles should pass through the hole far enough to 
spring fully open. If they are not open, unscrew the bolt 
until the toggle moves down to clear the sink.

 

C.  Look down through the base for this step. Before

tightening the bolts, determine the correct rotation of the 
base. The final position of the handle will be 45 degrees 
off from the bolt heads. Use Figure 5 to help determine 
the best position for your installation.

 

Through the hole in the base, hold the toggle in position 
while tightening the bolt. The spring loaded toggle

 

will contact the bottom of the counter top and hold in 
position. Do not fully tighten. Repeat for second toggle 
bolt.

 

Check the final position of the base and toggle bolts. 
Tighten the two bolts evenly. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. 
Tighten only far enough to prevent the base from 
rotating when the faucet is rotated in place.

 

D.  Attach large diameter 3/8" (red) drain tube to the larger 

barb fitting at the faucet bottom. This tube should be 
long enough to reach the drain clamp in Step 7.

E.  Locate the 1/4" red brine tube from the right side of the 

system head assembly. Route the tube through the 
faucet base and connect to small barb on the faucet. 
Make certain that the tube is not kinked or stressed 
once the head assembly is mounted.

 

F.  Apply 3-5 wraps of Teflon tape to faucet stem. Screw 

quick connector onto end of threads.

 

G.  Wet end of 3/8" blue tube. Push into bottom of 

connector. Tug gently to be sure connection is 
complete. This tube should be long enough to reach the 
top right side of the RO Assembly.

 

H.  Check that the O-ring is in place on the faucet. Feed 

the remaining 3/8" tubes through the base. Hold the 
faucet in the final position and rotate backwards (to the 
left) while pushing down. The faucet will drop into the 
base. Push down on the faucet and rotate forward (to 
the right) to lock it into final position. The O-ring will be 
seated and the faucet held securely in position.

 

I.  Insert the spout into the top opening. Hold in position 

and screw the collar onto the base.

 

NOTE: If the faucet handle is not in the correct 

position, remove the faucet, loosen the toggle 
bolts and reposition the base. Tighten the 
toggle bolts. Then reinstall the faucet.
