OP175 System Installation, Operation & Maintenance
6
Wall Mounting
The processor unit should always be mounted where
it is well-supported, either using anchors in a cement
wall, or using the support of studs in a wall-board
wall.
Never mount it directly to sheet-rock alone.
Instead, mount it on a sheet of plywood which is
anchored to the wall studs, as shown above.
Four user-supplied bolts or screws with a head
diameter of approximately 1/2” (which will fit into the
keyholes in the system bracket, but will not slip out
when tightened) should be used to hang the system.
This will allow the unit to be lifted off the bolts, if
necessary for maintenance, without removing all
the bolts from the wall. Hold the processor in place
(without the cartridges) to mark the locations for
the screws. BE SURE TO ALLOW 3” BELOW THE
CARTRIDGES TO ALLOW FOR REMOVAL. Screw
the four bolts or screws in place, leaving approximately
1/4” clearance between the bottom of each bolt head
and the wall. Position the system over the mounting
bolts, and let the bracket slip down into the keyholes.
Tighten all screws.
System Installation
Note: Do not install the cartridges in the processor
until completing this section. Do not plug in the
power cord from the RP pump until completing the
following section, “System Start-Up”.
Refer to “Typical Installation” diagram on page 5
and “How to Use Our Quick-Connect Fittings” on
page 16 when making the following connections.
A feed water ball valve and pressure gauge (user
supplied) should be installed to provide water to the
system FEED WATER INLET with the green tubing
(supplied). Hose, tubing and fittings for making
connections between the processor, storage tank
and drain are supplied in the installation kit with the
system.
1. Remove the tank lid. Inside the tank, the float
valve may be secured for shipping. Remove any
wrapping on the float to allow it to hang and move
freely.
2. DRAIN: Connect the 1/4” black tubing from the
installation kit to the REJECT WATER OUTLET on
the processor. Run the line to an appropriate drain.
Observe local plumbing codes and supply an
appropriate air gap. (Any fittings for connecting to
the drain will need to be supplied by the customer.)
Fix tubing in place at the drain.
3. FEED WATER: Apply 3 ‘wraps’ of Teflon tape to
the 1/2” FPT x 3/8” push-connect fitting (supplied).
Screw the fitting into the Feed Water Supply Ball
Valve and tighten (DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN).
Connect one end of the 3/8” GREEN TUBING to
this fitting. Connect the other end of the tubing to
the FEED WATER INLET located on the left side
of the Processor. Cut the tubing to the required
