Page 4
The following tools may be necessary, depending on each particular installation:
3/8” Drill and ¼” drill bit and Faucet Drill bit (Standard Faucet use a 7/16” drill bit, Air Gap Faucet uses a 7/8” mini-
mum and 1 1/8” maximum drill bit).
Phillips head and flat blade screwdrivers
Adjustable wrench
Crescent wrench
Teflon tape
Plastic tube cutter
Your R/O system may be installed under a sink, in a basement or other location, depending on available space. Do not
install unit where temperatures fall below freezing; otherwise, damage will result. Connection to an icemaker should also
be considered for optimum performance.
Guidelines for component placement are as follows:
FAUCET
should be placed near the sink where drinking/ cooking water is normally required. A 2” flat surface is re-
quired to mount the faucet if an existing hole for a second faucet is not available. The thickness of the mounting thick-
ness should not exceed 1-1/4”.
STORAGE TANK
may be placed where it is convenient, within ten feet of the RO module. Under the sink or in a
nearby cabinet are excellent choices. Full tanks may weigh more than thirty pounds, so a sturdy shelf is required.
RO MODULE
may be mounted on either side of the sink, in a cabinet or heated basement, with nearby access to a po-
table, cold water line and a sanitary drain.
