Keep in mind that you may install a tube tee on the line to the faucet to connect icemakers or
other faucets to the system. If you locate your system farther than 20 feet from the faucet, you
will need to use 3/8” tubing or install a pressure booster pump to your line. See your dealer for
parts and details.
Step 2. Getting Ready
1. Clear working area. Unpack all components and check for visual damage. Ensure all
listed components are included.
2. Inspect the cold water supply line and the condition of the pipe. The water supply
adapter included is intended to be installed between the supply valve and the faucet
connector, under the kitchen sink. If the cold water supply valve is not available at the
installation location, you will need to consult your plumber or plumbing supply store to
purchase an appropriate cold water connection.
3.
Check the air pressure in the RO storage tank with an ordinary tire gauge. It should be
pre-charged to 7-10 PSI. Adjust if necessary.
DO NOT EXCEED RECOMMENDED
TANK INFLATION PRESSURE – UNIT WILL FAIL TO OPERATE CORRECTLY.
4. You will need the following tools: An electric drill, a ½” carbide bit, a ¼” carbide bit, a
1/8” carbide bit, a pencil, a small adjustable (crescent) wrench, a sharp knife (X-Acto
type knife is best), Teflon plumbing tape, adjustable pliers, a rat-tail file, a center punch,
a medium flat head screwdriver, a small household funnel.
Always wear eye protection
when using an electric drill.
Step 3. Install the Cold Water Supply Faucet Adapter
1. Turn OFF the COLD water supply valve
to your kitchen faucet.
2. Turn ON the COLD water on your kitchen faucet to release all the pressure, and
completely drain the cold water until the water flow stops.
3. Place some towels underneath the cold water supply valve and then disconnect the
faucet supply tube from the cold water supply valve.
4. Wrap male threads on both cold water supply valve and the water supply adapter 4 to 5
times with plumber’s (Teflon) tape.
5. Install the water supply adapter on the
cold water supply valve. Do not over-
tighten.
6. Install the faucet supply tube to the water supply adapter.
