Step 8. Connect the System Tubing
!
READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. MOST SYSTEM LEAKS ARE CAUSED FROM
IMPROPERLY COMPLETED PUSH-ON JOINTS.
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. See
addendums to this manual for installation of the
Leak Stop
flow interrupter and the
shock arrestor/pressure regulating device (included in kit).
2. Connect the black ¼” tube (marked “to drain”) to the Drain Saddle push-on connection
(your black drain tube is pre-attached to your RO). Please note that the drain line flow
restrictor has been installed INSIDE the black drain tube at the waste elbow, on the
membrane housing. Place the storage tank in the location you have chosen for it.
Using the clear ¼” tube connect the system fitting marked “to tank” to the tank valve.
Connect the ¼” tube attached to the faucet to the system fitting marked “to faucet”. If
the tubing is not pre-attached to the faucet, cut the 3/8” clear tubing to the desired length
and attach the tube to the fitting at the base of the faucet shank to the fitting marked “ to
faucet” on the RO unit.
3. You may find that your unit does not have labels attached to indicate the water line and
drain line connections. The photos below are labelled with the correct locations for the
water and drain connections.
