INSTALLATION - FEED WATER SUPPLY

REJECT WATER DRAIN FITTING

Check and comply with local plumbing codes

as you

plan, then install a cold feed (supply) water fitting. The

fitting must provide a leak tight connection to the RO

1/4" OD tubing, see Figure 5, page 9. A typical installa-

tion, using standard plumbing fittings is shown in Figure

1. A saddle valve (not available from EcoWater) may be

used where codes permit. Installation instructions are on

page 16.

NOTE:

Codes in the state of Massachusetts require

installation by a licensed plumber, and do not permit the

use of the drain clamp. For installation, use plumbing

code 248-CMR of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

PIPE FITTINGS

(compression shown)

IMPORTANT:

Before starting, close the hot and cold

water shutoff valves (See Figure 1). Use a pan to catch

water when disassembling the pipe.
Complying with plumbing codes, install a fitting on the

kitchen cold water pipe to adapt 1/4" OD tubing. A typi-

cal connection is shown in Figure 1. You can use solder

or threaded fittings. If threaded fittings are used, be sure

to use pipe joint compound or Teflon tape on outside

threads.
Do not connect the tubing to the fitting until step 2, top

of page 9.

Running the RO drain tubing directly to a floor drain,

laundry tub, sump, standpipe, etc., is preferred. If that is

not possible or practical, check and comply with local

plumbing codes as you plan, then install a drain fitting

for RO reject water. This fitting is usually installed at the

sink p-trap (always above). It must provide a leak-tight

connection to 3/8" OD tubing from the RO product water

faucet airgap, see Figure 5, page 9. Typical drain fitting

installations are listed below. A drain adapter (part no.

7192230) is available to use where codes permit.

Installation instructions are on page 16. Other options are

shown on page 19.

“Y” BRANCH TAIL PIECE, OR OTHER

APPROVED P-TRAP DRAIN

Reject water from the RO is routed to the RO faucet air-

gap (1/4" tubing), then to the drain point with 3/8" OD

tubing. COMPLYING WITH PLUMBING CODES,

install a fitting to accept the 3/8" tubing. Figure 2 shows

typical p-trap and "Y" branch tail piece type drains.
Do not connect drain tubing until step 1, top of page 9.
