B. Tools Recommended for Reverse Osmosis 
Installation 

 

 

 

 
C. Site Selection for Major System Reverse 
Osmosis Components 

The following tools will cover most of the 
Reverse Osmosis installation sites 
encountered: 

 

The Reverse Osmosis  System was designed to fit 
under a sink, however, because of space limitations 
or other reasons, the Reverse Osmosis system's 
flexible design allows for other locations. When 
determining the location of your Reverse Osmosis 
system remember that access to a cold water tap 
line, the household drain, and ease of Reverse 
Osmosis filter replacement are important 
considerations. 

All Reverse Osmosis components and tubing 
should be located in an area not exposed to 
freezing temperatures. If winter temperatures are 
sever, the area should be above the minimum 
temperature listed in Table B, page 2 for proper 
performance. Do not expose Reverse Osmosis 
system or tubing to direct sunlight. 

1.  3/8" variable speed electric drill. 

 

2.  Extension work light with outlet. 

 

3.  Safety glasses. 

 

4.  5/8" Drill Bit and 1/8" and  ½"metal drill bits 

for pilot hole. 

 

6.  Center punch and hammer. 

 

7.  Wood bits. 

 

8.  Concrete drill bits. 

 

9.  Assorted wood and metal drill bits including 

7/32" metal drill bit. 

 

1.  Reverse Osmosis Drinking Faucet

 – The 

Reverse Osmosis faucet should be placed near 
the sink where drinking water is normally 
obtained. Convenience of use (filling of water 
pitchers and glasses), and an open area 
beneath the Reverse Osmosis faucet under the 
sink for attaching product and Reverse Osmosis 
drain tubing are considerations. A 2" diameter 
flat surface is required above and below the 
Reverse Osmosis installation site.  

10. Phillips head and flat blade screwdrivers. 

 

11. ½", 9/16" and 5/8" open end wrenches. 

 

12. 10" Crescent wrench with jaws taped to 

hold faucet. 

 

13. Basin wrench or 10" pipe wrench. 

 

14. Teflon tape. 

 

15. Wide masking tape or duct tape. 

 

16. Plastic tubing cutter. 

 

17. Extra plastic tubing. 

 

2.  Reverse Osmosis Holding Tank

 – The 

Reverse Osmosis Holding Tank may be placed 
where it is convenient within 10 feet of the 
Reverse Osmosis faucet; under the sink, in an 
adjacent cabinet are the best choices or in a 
basement within 20 feet of the Reverse Osmosis 
faucet. If a longer run of Reverse Osmosis 
tubing is required, a transfer delivery pump may 
be required extra to boost line pressure. 

18. Low range air pressure gauge. 

 

19. Small bottle of liquid chlorine bleach. 

 

20. Paper towels, wisk broom and assorted 

clean up materials. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.  Reverse Osmosis Manifold Assembly

 – The 

Reverse Osmosis  manifold can be installed on 
either the right or left side of the under-sink area 
or a cabinet. The right side is recommended 
because all the Reverse Osmosis tubing will be 
to the back of the cabinet and out of the way. 
Reverse Osmosis Installation in the basement is 
also an option; one location is near the 
laundry/utility sink where cold potable water and 
rain access are handy. The mounting location 
should allow adequate clearance and 
accessibility for Reverse Osmosis cartridge 
changes.
