2. Position the drain saddle assembly in the selected location and mark the spot through the
threaded outlet with a pencil or marker
3.
Drill a ¼” hole at the marked spot. Strip the backing paper from the adhesive side of the
saddle gasket and position on the inside of the drain saddle, aligning the hole with the
threaded outlet. Attach the drain saddle to the drainpipe, aligning the push-on port with the
drilled hole. Tighten the clamp snugly. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
4. The black drain tube may be inserted directly into the push-on drain port, using instructions
in Step 8. below. Do not attach poly tube at this time.
Step 6. Install the Tank Valve, Preparing the Storage Tank
1. Wrap the threaded storage tank nipple with two wraps of Teflon tape. Thread on tank shut-
off valve until snug. Using the wrench, turn an additional ¼ turn. DO NOT OVER
TIGHTEN. Open tank valve to the fully open position.
Step 7. Mounting the RO Unit
1. While holding the RO unit in its mounting position, mark the holes for the wall screws.
Using a 1/8” bit, drill the pilot holes for the screws. Screw in the mounting screws leaving
¼” protruding. Hang the RO mounting bracket on the screws and tighten.
2. If the unit is to be mounted on wallboard, use plastic screw anchors, available at any
builder’s supply and follow the manufacturer’s directions.
3.
DO NOT INSTALL FILTER CARTRIDGES OR THE RO MEMBRANE AT THIS TIME.
Spin the filter housing sumps on to the RO unit and hand-tighten. On Vectapure II units the
clear housing always is installed on the right-hand side. WR-2 Series use only white
opaque housings. Use the wrench provided to turn an additional ¼ turn.
Step 8. Connect the System Tubing
!
Making and securing a push on
connection is simple. First, the
tubing should be cut square and
any burrs or rough edges
removed. Insert the tube firmly
and push until the tube end
contacts the stop. Gently tug
the tube backwards to assure a
secure
connection.
To
disconnect, pull the tube while
pushing in the collet ring. The
joint may be used over and over
again, if necessary.
1. Connect the cold water supply valve to the first filter housing water inlet push-on fitting
(marked “water inlet”), after cutting the ¼” clear tube to the length required.
2.
Connect the black ¼” tube from the end of the flow restrictor (marked “to drain”) to the
Drain Saddle push-on connection (your black drain tube may be pre-attached to your RO).
Please note that the drain line flow restrictor has been installed INSIDE the black drain tube
