FITTING INSTRUCTIONS:
Fitting The Pre-Plumbed RO System
Use the bracket as a template to mark the position of the unit on a suitable wall or cupboard panel. Allow a minimum
of 40mm clearance below the filter bowls to allow for filter change out. Drill and plug two holes and screw in 2
screws (not supplied) allowing the screw heads to protrude from the wall by approx.
5mm. Place the bracket over the screws and slide to left or right (as preferred) to lock
bracket in position.
Fitting The Tap
Select a suitable position on the work top or corner of the sink. Before drilling the
hole, check there is nothing directly underneath that could be damaged i.e.
water or waste pipes, cables etc. Also make sure that there is room for the
locating washer and that you can physically reach the tap stud to connect the
brass nut. Use a centre punch to mark the location of the hole to be drilled. Drill
a 3mm pilot hole. Enlarge the hole to 11mm. If you are drilling through
stainless steel, deburr and rough edges around the hole. Wipe clean with a soft
cloth. Check that the tap stud fits easily through the hole. Secure the push fit
connector and firmly push one end of the blue pipe into the collar within the
push-fit connector. Push the other end of the blue tubing into the push fit
connector fitted to the post carbon filter housing.
Note:
Some taps are supplied
with the blue tubing already permanently fitted. The tap has two ‘ON’
positions. Lift the lever up for continuous flow. Press the lever down for flow
that ceases when the lever is released.
Fitting The Saddle Tapping Valve
Although not essential, we recommend that you turn off the cold water stopcock
and relieve the water pressure by opening cold water tap. If the stopcock is under
the sink, fit the valve after the stopcock. The valve must be fitted on the cold
water supply only, (if you are uncertain, run the hot tap for a minute and feel the
pipes under the sink to distinguish the cold pipe).
Do not fit the valve on a bend, a join or where there is solder on the copper pipe.
Attach the clamp around the pipe and tighten the clamp bolt to ensure a water
tight seal. Do not over tighten the clamp bolt as this may distort the water pipe.
Firmly push the open end of the red tubing attached to the saddle tapping valve
into the collar on the front of the pre carbon filter housing.
Note:
Later designs have the red tubing already permanently fitted to the valve.
The saddle tapping valve supplied with the RO-Pro System is designed to comply
with British plumbing codes. (See ‘System Start Up’ Section for further details
regarding the saddle tapping valve.)
Note:
Later designs have the red tubing already permanently fitted to the
valve. The saddle tapping valve supplied with the RO-Pro System is designed to comply with British plumbing codes.
Fitting The Tank Ball Valve
Remove the plastic cap on the top of the tank. Wrap the thread 3 or 4 times with plumbers tape (Teflon). Connect
the ball valve to the thread and make sure it is tight but not over-tight. Connect the yellow tubing to the tank ball
valve. Turn the tank ball valve off.
Note:
Do not tamper with the air valve on the low side of the storage tank. It has
been preset at 8-10 psi by the manufacturers.
Mounting The Drain Clamp
Position the drain saddle in the desired location (please see notes below), mark spot through thread outlet, remove
saddle. Drill 1/4” (6.3mm) hole into the drain pipe above the water line of the trap/U-bend. Fix self adhesive foam
seal over the hole in the drain saddle ensuring that the holes line up. Align the hole drilled in the drain pipe with the
drain saddle using a drill bit. Make sure to align drain saddle to drilled hole. Attach drain saddle to drain pipe and
tighten the two screws evenly. Connect the black tubing to the drain clamp.
Note:
The drain clamp will fit most standard drain pipe 1 1/2” diameter. It should be installed above the trap/u-bend
and on the vertical or horizontal tailpiece. If a waste disposal unit is fitted, the drain clamp must not be fitted into the
same waste pipe.
