INSTALL REVERSE OSMOSIS FAUCET

1

. Locate and organize your RO faucet install parts. Refer

to Fig. 14. 

2

. Snap the o-ring into the groove on the bottom of the base

and slide the base onto the faucet stud. See Fig. 14.

3

. Locate the 3/8" black tubing and push one end onto the

3/8" faucet barb fitting, see Fig. 15.

4

. Move the RO system into position, under the sink. See

page 10.

NOTE: If you routed the red drain tubing directly to a

remote drain point (see page 9), disregard step 5 and

move on to step 6.

5

. Locate the 1/4” red tube assembled to the RO assembly.

Remove shipping cap from the loose end of the red tube.

Route the red tubing from the bottom, up through the

faucet mounting hole. Cut tube to length as needed, cut-

ting the end square. See Fig. 16. Push the end of the

tubing onto the 1/4" barb fitting. See Fig. 15.

6

. Work tubing and the faucet stud down, into the mounting

hole.

7

. On the underside of the sink or countertop, install the

spacer, flat washer, and hex nut. Slide the large steel

washer into place between the countertop and spacer.

Then, tighten the hex nut securely.

8

. Thread the quick connect fitting onto the bottom of the

faucet stud.

9

.Locate the 3/8" blue tubing assembled to the RO assem-

bly.  Remove shipping cap from the loose end and route

the blue tubing to the quick connect fitting on the bottom

of the faucet stud.  Cut tube to length as needed, cutting

the end square. See Fig. 16.  Push the end of the blue

tubing into the quick connect fitting. See Fig. 15.
