2. Selecting the Faucet Location
NOTE:
The drinking water faucet should be positioned with function,
convenience, and appearance in mind. An adequate flat area is
required to allow faucet base to rest securely. The faucet fits through
a 3/4-inch hole. Most sinks have pre-drilled 1
3
⁄
8
-inch or 1
1
⁄
2
-inch
diameter holes that may be used for faucet installation. If these pre-
drilled holes cannot be used or are in an inconvenient location, it will
be necessary to drill a 3/4-inch hole in the sink to accommodate
the faucet.
This procedure may generate dust which can cause severe
irritation if inhaled or come in contact with the eyes. The use of safety
glasses and respirator for this procedure is recommended.
Do not attempt to drill through an all-porcelain sink. If you
have an all-porcelain sink, mount the faucet in pre-drilled sprayer hole
or drill through countertop next to sink.
When drilling through a countertop, make sure the area
below the drilled area is free of wiring and piping. Make certain that
you have ample room to make the proper connections to the bottom
of the faucet.
Do not drill through a countertop that is more than
one inch thick.
Do not attempt to drill through a tiled, marble, granite or
similar countertop. Consult a plumber or the countertop manufacturer
for advice or assistance.
A)
Line bottom of sink with newspaper to prevent metal shavings,
parts, or tools from falling down drain.
B)
Place masking tape over the area to be drilled to prevent scratches
if drill bit slips.
C)
Mark hole with center punch. Use a 1/4-inch drill bit for a pilot
hole.
D)
Using a 3/4-inch drill bit, drill a hole completely through the sink.
Smooth the rough edges with a file.
3. Mounting the Faucet
A)
Place the decorative escutcheon plate over the threaded shaft
followed by the flat rubber washer.
B)
Slide the threaded shaft into the hole on the sink top.
C)
The locating washer is positioned with the center facing down. If
the hole is 1/2-inch or larger the locating washer is turned over.
The center of the washer will position the faucet in the hole.
D)
Place the star washer and the lock nut onto the threads and finger
tighten.
E)
Place the faucet in final position and tighten the lock nut until the
faucet is secure.
4. Mounting the System
A)
Select location under sink or in basement where filter is to
be mounted.
NOTE:
Allow 1
1
⁄
2
inches (33 mm) clearance below housing to
enable filter cartridge changes.
B)
Install mounting screws at least 14
1
⁄
2
inches (114 mm) from
cabinet floor and 5
7
⁄
8
inches (149 mm) apart. Leave enough space
(approximately 1/8 inch [3 mm]) between the head of the screw
and the wall to slip system onto screws.
C)
Place system over screws on wall and slide sideways to lock into
place. Make certain system is firmly attached to wall to prevent it
from falling and possibly being damaged.
