C. Drain Clamp Installation
Choose the drain outlet location per Sec. III, C.5.
The following are instructions for discharging
into the sink drain pipe. (Refer to Fig. 1.)
1. Position the Drain Clamp on the sink drain
pipe above the drain trap. Allow room for
drilling. Tighten securely.
2. Use a battery powered or properly grounded
drill. Using the Clamp port as a drill guide,
drill a
7
/
32
" hole through the wall of the drain
pipe. Do NOT penetrate the opposite side of
the pipe.
3. Locate the
3
/
8
" Black Drain Tubing connected
to the Dispensing Faucet. Route to the tubing
to the Drain Clamp and trim to length.
NOTE: When cutting the polytubing make
clean, square cuts, failing to do so could
result in poor connections and possible
leaks.
CAUTION: The lowest point of the line
should be the point of connection to the Drain
Clamp. There should be no sag in the line as
this may cause excessive noise as the reject
water is flowing to drain.
•Refer to Fig. 4. Insert the tubing into the
Drain Clamp. Make sure the tubing is
pressed all the way in to create a pressure
tight connection.
NOTE: If you want to pull the tubing out for
some reason, push the ring around the tubing
in and pull the tubing out.
D. R.O. Manifold Assembly Installation
Locate the site per Sec. III, C.3. Various
installation sites will require different types
of mounting fasteners; be sure the fastener
selected will provide a firm, solid mounting.
A support panel may be necessary on thin
cabinet walls or to span between wall studs on
particleboard or drywall.
Do not drill through exterior cabinet walls or
leave sharp wood screw points exposed in
readily accessible cabinet interiors.
The close proximity of a dishwasher or a trash
compactor may require special fabrication of a
mounting plate.
1. The mounting bracket will accept either #10
or #12 (5mm) mounting screws spaced on
6" (15 cm) centers. Allow at least 4" (10 cm)
of clearance beneath the filter housings to
accommodate filter changes. Mark the two
locations (the bracket can be used as a
template). Install the screws and tighten them
until the heads are about
5
⁄
8
" from the wall.

2. Locate the ¼" Red Feed Water Tubing.
Remove the red plug from the fitting labeled
“In” on the manifold and insert the tubing.
Reference the special supplement sheet in
the carton for proper connection of all tubing
and removal of plugs. Run the tubing along
its course to the Feed Water Saddle Valve,
trim to length. (Refer to Fig. 1.)
Refer to Fig. 3. To the end of the red polytube
install the Compression Nut, the Plastic
Ferrule, and the Insert. Connect to the Feed
Water Saddle Valve.
3. Locate the ¼" Black Drain Tubing connected
to the Dispensing Faucet. Remove the black
plug from the fitting labeled “Drain” on the
manifold. The end of the Black Drain Tubing
that should be inserted into the “Drain” port
will have a drain restrictor in it. Allow the
tubing to relax, then press drain restrictor
firmly again to insure proper seating.
