Components

System location
Your drinking water system may be installed under
a sink, in a basement or other location, depending
on available space. Do not install unit where
temperatures fall below freezing; otherwise,
damage will result. Connection to an icemaker
should also be considered for optimum
performance.
Guidelines for component placement are as follows:
Faucet
should be placed near the sink where
drinking / cooking water is normally required. A 2”
flat surface is required to mount the faucet if an
existing hole for a second faucet is not available.
The thickness of the mounting surface should not
exceed 1-1/4”.
Feed water connection
is accomplished with a
self-piercing feed water saddle valve. Locate this
assembly as close to the system as possible.
Connect to a potable, cold water supply line only.
Note: Plumbing codes may require the use of air
gaps. Please check with your local municipality.
Site reparation
Installing dealers may want to speak with
customers in advance and ask them to clean under
the sink to save time. If a basement installation is
advisable, check area to determine if extra fittings
or hosing are required. Upon arrival, it is a good
idea to check the condition of all plumbing for
potential leaks and advise customer so there will be
no misunderstandings in the event leaks occur.
Unit preparation
Open shipping carton, remove components and
check that all parts are present.
Installation steps
All plumbing must be completed in accordance with
state and local plumbing codes. Some
municipalities may require installation by a licensed
plumber. Check local authority prior to installation.
1. Faucet
installation
If the sink has a sprayer it may be disconnected for
faucet installation. (Installing dealers should
discuss this with customers.) A pipe cap or plug will
be necessary to seal the sprayer connection.
