D. R.O. MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Locate the site per Sec. III, C.3. Various installation sites will require different types of mounting fasteners; be sure the fastener
selected will provide a firm, solid mounting. A support panel may be necessary on thin cabinet walls or to span between wall studs
on particleboard or drywall.
Do not drill through exterior cabinet walls or leave sharp wood screw points exposed in readily accessible cabinet interiors.
The close proximity of a dishwasher or a trash compactor may require special fabrication of a mounting plate.
SECTION IV. INSTALLATION STEPS
16.
The mounting bracket will accept either #10 or #12
(5mm) mounting screws spaced on 6" (15 cm) centers.
Allow at least 4" (10 cm) of clearance beneath the filter
housings to accommodate filter changes. Mark the
two locations (the bracket can be used as a template).
Install the screws and tighten them until the heads are
about 5/8" from the wall.
17.
Locate the ¼" Orange Feed Water Tubing. Remove
the red plug from the fitting labeled “In” on the manifold
and insert the tubing. Reference the special supplement
sheet in the carton for proper connection of all tubing
and removal of plugs. Run the tubing along its course
to the Feed Water Valve, trim to length. (Refer to Fig. 1.)
18.
Locate the ¼" Black Drain Tubing. Remove the black
plug from the fitting labeled “Drain” on the manifold
and insert the tubing. The end of the Black Drain
Tubing that should be inserted into the “Drain” port
will have a drain restrictor in it. Run the tubing along
its course to the ¼" Hose Barb on the Dispensing
Faucet, trim to length and connect by firmly pressing
over the barb. Allow the tubing to relax, then press
firmly again to insure proper seating.
19.
Locate the ¼" White tubing. Remove the yellow plug
from the fitting labeled "Out" on the manifold and
insert the tubing.
20.
Locate the 3/8" Blue Product Water Tubing.
Firmly press one end into the tee and the other
end into the faucet connector. (Refer to Fig. 3.)
The fittings will grab the tubing and seal it in place.
Make sure the tubing is pressed all the way in to
create a pressure tight connection.
NOTE: If you want to pull the tubing out for
some reason, push the ring around the tubing
in and pull the tubing out.
21.
Hang the Manifold Assembly on the mounting screws
and tighten. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.
22.
Remove the wrapping from the In–Line Activated
Carbon Post-Filter. Slice the 3/8" Blue Polytube where
it would be convenient to install and change the In–
Line Filter. Make a clean straight cut to insure proper
connections. The “Out” port on the In–Line Filter should
be toward the faucet. Firmly press in the tubing. The
fittings will grab the tubing and seal it in place. Make
sure the tubing is pressed all the way in to create a
pressure tight connection.
E. POSITION THE DRINKING WATER
HOLDING TANK AND MAKE THE FINAL
HOSE CONNECTIONS.
1.
Check the tank precharge pressure. Make sure it is
between 5 to 7 psig. If not, use a bicycle hand pump
or other pump to bring the pressure up to the 5 to 7
psig range.
2.
Wrap Teflon tape three times around the ¼" male
outlet thread. Wrap in the direction of the threads
(clockwise when looking down on the Holding Tank).
The tape will act as a thread sealant. Screw on the
Holding Tank Shut–Off Valve.
3.
Locate the 3/8" White Tubing. Firmly press one
end into the Holding Tank Shut–Off Valve and the
other end into the tee. (Refer to Fig. 1.) The fittings
will grab the tubing and seal it in place. Make sure
the tubing is pressed all the way in to create a
pressure tight connection.
