B. For porcelain sinks, place a piece of masking tape over the
faucet location, then mark the position with a punch before
drilling.
NOTE:
A special drill is required for porcelain sinks.
4. Remove the hardware from the faucet stem. Slide the large rub-
ber washer onto the threaded stem and insert the faucet stem
and rubber washer assembly into the sink hole.
5. Slide the large metal washer and the thumb nut on to the faucet
stem. Hand tighten the thumb nut against the underside of the
sink to secure the faucet in place.
Connect one end of one of the pieces of the white plastic tub-
ing to the end of the faucet stem; See Figure 3.
6. Firmly push the plastic tubing all the way into the faucet stem
until firmly seated.
NOTE:
The faucet stem has a quick connecting fitting (See Figure
3). If you need to remove the water line (plastic tubing) from the
quick connecting fitting, simply push in the collet ring while gen-
tly pulling the plastic tubing out of the fitting. See Figure 4.
Install the saddle valve; See Figure 5.
7. Locate and turn off the cold water shut off valve.
8. Open the kitchen faucet to relieve any remaining water pressure.
9. Install the saddle valve on the cold water line as shown in
Figure 5.
NOTE:
The saddle valve clamps onto soft or hard tubing or pipe
from 3/8” to 1-5/16” diameter. It will make its own hole in cop-
per tubing, but not in iron or brass. For brass or iron pipe, drill a
5/32” hole in the pipe before mounting the saddle valve.
Risk of electric shock.
If possible, use a hand or
cordless drill when drilling into the water pipe. If using an electric
drill, be sure that the drill, cord and outlet are all properly grounded.
Be sure the water supply to the cold water line is turned off.
NOTE:
Do not turn the handle before installing or while installing
the saddle valve. To prevent damage to the piercing needle, make
sure that piercing needle does not project beyond the rubber gasket.
a. Clamp the saddle valve on to the copper tube with the screws
supplied.
b. Tighten the screws evenly and firmly, keeping the halves of
the bracket parallel.
c. When the clamp is tight, turn the valve handle clockwise to
pierce the supply line.
NOTE:
Leave the handle in this position (valve closed) until the filter
installation is complete.
10. The filter cartridge comes preassembled in the filter housing. See
Figure 6 for the filter cartridge components.
