INSTALL THE FAUCET

Select one of the following places to install the faucet.

Be sure there's room underneath so you can make the

needed connections.

u

In an existing sink spray attachment hole.

u

Drill a hole in the sink top.

u

Drill a hole in the countertop, next to the sink.

NOTE:

Looking at Figure 3, be sure the faucet base will

fit flat against the surface at the selected location so the

o-ring will seal.

1.

Locate and organize your RO faucet install parts.

Refer to Figure 3.

2. 

Mount faucet base to sink hole until the faucet base

is square against the sink surface. The rubber washer

should be between the sink surface and the faucet base.

See Figure 3.

3.

Tighten the toggle bolts until the base is firmly

mounted to the sink surface. Do not overtighten.

4.

Move the RO system into position, under the sink.

(Referring to page 7, hang the system on cabinet wall, or

lay on the floor surface, as desired.)

NOTE:

See tubing connection procedures on page 8. For

ease of service and maintenance, keep tubing lengths

long enough so removal of the RO system from under

the sink is possible.

5.

Feed a length of 3/8” blue tubing up through the

hole and connect to the 3/8” quick connect fitting on the

bottom of the faucet. See Figure 4. The other end of this

tubing will be connected to the RO system, as shown on

page 9.

NOTE:

If you will route the red RO drain tubing direct-

ly to the drain point, disregard steps 6 and 7 and refer to

instructions on top of page 9.

6.

Feed a length of 1/4” red tubing up through the hole

and connect to the 1/4” barb on the bottom of the faucet.

See Figure 4. The other end of this tubing will be con-

nected to the RO system, as shown on page 9.

7.

Feed a length of 3/8” black tubing up through the

hole and connect to the 3/8” barb on the bottom of the

faucet. See Figure 4. The other end of this tubing will be

connected to the drain, as shown on page 9.

8.

Mount the faucet body on to the faucet base, 1/4

turn. See Figure 3.
