ELECTRONIC FAUCET INSTALLATION
Be sure there is room underneath the sink to make the needed
connections. Select one of the following places to install the faucet:
—
IN an existing sink spray attachment or soap dispenser hole
—
IN a hole to be drilled in the sink top
—
IN a hole to be drilled in the countertop, next to the sink
NOTE:
Looking at Fig. 4D, be sure the faucet base will fit flat against the
surface at the selected location so the gasket will seal. The base may
have to be angled sideways or diagonally.
1.
If drilling is needed, make a 1-1⁄4
″
dia. hole.
Be sure to use the
proper procedure for drilling porcelain or stainless steel.
2.
Looking at Fig. 4A, insert a screw into the NON-SLOTTED base
mounting hole. Turn a flat nut a few turns onto the screw.
3.
Position the base gasket over the mounting hole. Set the base on
the gasket, routing the leadwire through the mounting hole.
Holding the flat nut under the sink with one finger, tighten the
screw until just snug.
4.
Turn the remaining flat nut a few turns onto the other screw.
Position the screw in the slotted base mounting hole and tighten
until snug. Make sure the gasket position is properly aligned and
carefully tighten
both screws until the base is held firmly in place.
Do not overtighten
and break the base.
5.
Assemble the top faucet base and hex nut onto the faucet stud
(Fig. 4C). Tighten the nut until snug.
6.
Insert washer into tubing adapter. Securely tighten to faucet stud.
7.
Take the 27
″
length of 3⁄8
″
tubing and push one end completely
onto the 3⁄8
″
faucet barb fitting (Fig. 4D).
8.
Position the Reverse Osmosis system under the sink. Referring to
Fig. 5, page 7, hang the system on cabinet wall.
9.
Route the 1⁄4
″
tubing (marked “1⁄4
″
BARB ON FAUCET”) and
the 3⁄8
″
tubing (marked “FAUCET”) up through the mounting
hole and faucet base:
a.
Push one end of the 1⁄4
″
tubing onto the 1⁄4
″
barb on the
faucet.
b.
Using the compression nut, fasten the 3⁄8
″
tubing to the tubing
adapter and tighten the nut. Make sure the tubing is completely
seated in the adapter.
10.
Remove the short shipping tube and insert the spout into the
faucet body.
11.
Lower the faucet assembly and lock into place on the faucet base.
