6. Referring to the “Using Push-In Fittings” section, insert the blue
tubing coming from the 1/4" Feed Water Adapter into the INLET
fitting as shown in Figure 4.
7. After installing the faucet as detailed below, insert blue tubing to
faucet into OUTLET fittings, as shown in Figure 4.
8. Align tabs of filter cartridge with head assembly and insert filter
cartridge into head assembly. Turn filter cartridge counter clock-
wise until it stops (about 1/4 turn). The filter is now installed.
(See Figure 4).
9. Turn water supply back on from the shutoff valve on cold water
line. This will pressurize the filter system and begin sending
filtered water to the faucet. Look for leaks. If leaks occur, see
Troubleshooting Guide. Flush the filter for five minutes to remove
any trapped air.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)
DRINKING WATER FAUCET INSTALLATION
NOTE:
The drinking water system faucet should be located on a flat surface, conveniently located near the sink, so that
it empties into the sink. Most sinks have pre-drilled holes designated for sprayers, soap dispensers, and other acces-
sories. If your sink does not have an extra hole, then a 9/16" diameter hole must be drilled.
WARNING:
Porcelain, enamel, and ceramic sinks require special procedures for drilling holes. See next page for spe-
cial instructions.
Drilling 9/16" diameter hole through countertop or stainless steel sink:
1. Locate area to be drilled. Mark center of hole with center punch.
2. Drill hole with 9/16" drill bit suitable for countertop materials or cast iron/stainless steel.
3. With grinding wheel or file, smooth out any rough edges.
Installing the faucet:
1. Slide the following parts in the
order specified up blue tubing and
threaded brass stem:
a. Plastic bezel
b. Large rubber washer
2. Next, feed blue tubing and faucet
stem down through faucet mount-
ing hole.
3. From underneath sink, assemble
the black spacer, star washer, and
hex nut (as shown) onto the
threaded brass stem and tighten by
hand.
4. With a padded adjustable wrench,
turn the faucet base (above the
counter) to the right to securely
fasten. Remove piece of plastic
tubing from base.
5. Insert faucet neck onto base until
seated and align over sink.
