Installing the Filters
Installing the Faucet
If the sink has a sprayer it may be disconnected for faucet installation. A pipe cap or plug will be necessary to
seal the sprayer connection.
The faucet should be positioned so it empties into the sink and the spout swivels freely for convenience. If
sink has a hole that can accommodate the RO faucet, no drilling is required. Proceed with mounting the fau-
cet
.
Porcelain, Enamel, Ceramic on Metal or Cast Iron Sinks
For porcelain/enamel sinks marble or granite counter tops refer to Manufacturer/Supplier for proper drilling
instructions.
Installation procedures for stainless steel sinks
Recommended tools:
Center punch
Variable speed drill
High speed drill bits
Protective gloves & eye protectors
To make the faucet mounting hole (if sprayer or second hole is not used), check below to make sure the drill
does not interfere with anything below the sink. Center punch a small indent at the desired faucet location.
(2” flat surface is required, not exceeding 1-1/4” in thickness). Drill the 1/8” pilot hole. Drill the ½” hole for
the faucet shank to fit through. Clean up sharp edges.
Mounting the Faucet
1. Disassemble hardware from the threaded nipple, except for chrome base plates and rubber washers.
2. Feed the threaded nipple through sink or counter mounting hole and orient the faucet. From below sink or
counter, assemble the flat washer and hex nut on threaded nipple and tighten by hand. After checking
faucet orientation, tighten with a wrench until secure.
To install the filter simply push it up inside the cap and turn clock wise until the arrow aligns with the center of
the cap. To remove the filter reverse the procedure.
The filter head contains an Automatic Shut-off Device. This enables the filters to be changed without shutting
the inlet water off. A small amount of water may leak out during the installation or removal.
Note:
It is a good idea to be aware of
where the inlet water valve is located
so that it can easily be turned off if
any unforeseen problems are encoun-
tered.
