Tubing Connectors
Connect :
Cut the tubing squarely with a sharp knife. Be careful not to crush the tubing. To avoid
leaks, make sure the tubing end is smooth and free of burrs and abrasions. Lubricate
the end of the tube with water or a light coat of silicone and push the tube end firmly
into the fitting. You should feel it push past the O-ring. Avoid bending the tubing sharply
away from the fitting.
Disconnect :
Hold the collar against the fitting body and pull the tube from the fitting. In the unlikely
event that the connection leaks, remove and recut the tubing. Check the inside of the
fitting for debris or O-ring damage. Reconnect. Push-to-connect tubing connectors
grip the outside diameter of the tube. To help assure a reliable connection, it is important
to use high quality tubing with a consistent outside diameter.

Select Component Installation Locations
• Dispenser Faucet
– The faucet is designed to be mounted on the rear lip of the sink. It may be installed in an existing sprayer
attachment hole or in a hole drilled at the time of installation. It may also be mounted to an adjacent counter
top. It should be positioned so that water is dispensed over the sink. A 7/8” diameter hole is required.
• Important considerations
– Access to the bottom (undersink) of the faucet is required for attachment of product water line.
– There should be no undersink obstructions which would prevent smooth tubing runs to the drain connection,
or RO module assembly.
• Filter System Assembly
– The filter system assembly is designed to be mounted on any rigid vertical surface such as a cabinet sidewall,
sheetrock in exposed stud. It should be positioned such that there is access to an inlet water source and drain.
The installation should also allow convenient access for servicing.
• Inlet Water Supply Connection
– Once a location is chosen for installation of the filter system assembly, select a nearby cold water line to
provide the water source for the system.
• Drain Connection
– The most convenient entry to the drain is directly above the P-trap of the kitchen sink. However, the drain
water from the system can be connected to adjacent sinks or a floor drain. Extra care should be taken when
entering drains near dishwashers or food waste disposals as back flow may occur through the air gap and
cause flooding.
Note : Follow all local plumbing codes when connecting to drain.
