3) Cut 1-3/8˝ section out of tubing a minimum of 2˝ above the existing
cold water stop valve and removes any burrs.
4) Mark both sections 3/4˝ from the ends as a guide for inserting into the
new supply valve quick connect fittings.
5) Insert tubing into bottom & top of this valve to insertion line.
6) For Flexible hose installation from step 2.
7) Disconnect cold water line from existing 3/8˝ NPS stop valve
8) Apply 3-4 wraps of Teflon tape onto Male threads of the existing 3/8˝
NPS stop valve.
9) Connect the faucet female adapter to existing stop valve. Do not over
tighten.
10) Push tube end of Faucet female adapter into bottom of the new sup-
ply valve to insertion line.
11) Apply 3-4 wraps of Teflon tape onto male threads of Faucet male

B: Location details for New Separate Dispensing Tap
1) This tap should be positioned with function, convenience, and appear-
ance in mind. An adequate flat area is required to allow faucet base to rest
securely. Most sinks have pre-drilled 1-3/8˝ or 1-1/2˝ diameter holes that
may be used for this tap installation. If these holes cannot be used or are
in an inconvenient location, it will be necessary to drill a new hole. A 1-1/4˝
hole is recommended.
a. Waterline has hole saws available for porcelain over cast iron and
for stainless or fiberglass type sinks.
b. The stainless hole saw has also worked effectively for hard
surface counter tops which use a carbide tip for drilling.
c. Do not use either of these saws for marble, granite or other sur-
faces without consulting the manufacturer or dealer where purchased.
d. Drilling may result in damage to your sink or countertop and
Waterline is not responsible for any such damage. Consult a plumber,
countertop manufacturer or sink manufacturer for instructions.
NOTE: You may wish to use the existing cold water sink faucet installation
section in lieu of a separate dispensing tap if this become a problem.
C: Mounting the Dispensing Tap
Consult the dispensing tap instructions. NOTE: A 3/8˝ tube x 7/16˝ faucet
adapter fitting is supplied with this system to make a quick connection to
this faucet and outlet of filter using the union fitting connected to filter out-
let 3/8˝ tubing. NOTE: Install the filter to thread shank on faucet.
D: Connecting the water supply to Filter
INLET Fitting:
1) Determine the length of plastic tubing (3/8˝ tubing 5´ supplied with sys-
tem) needed to connect the inlet (left side) of the filter with the supply
stop valve.
a. Be sure to allow enough tubing to prevent kinking and cut the tub-
ing squarely and remove all burrs. Place a mark 3/4˝ from end of tubing.
b. Wet tubing with water and insert into outlet (side fitting) of
supply valve until 3/4” mark is flush with fitting.
c. Place a mark 3/4˝ from other end of tubing.
d. Insert tubing into fitting inlet of system to insertion mark.
OUTLET Fitting:
1) Insert union connector into faucet adapter fitting 3/4˝.
2) Determine the length of tubing (3/8˝ tubing supplied) with system to
make the connection from the outlet fitting of filter to 3/8˝ union connec-
tion which is also connected to the faucet adapter fitting on bottom of dis-
pensing tap.A 3´ minimum length is suggested to connect accessories to
this line.
a. Place a mark 3/4˝ from end of tubing.
b. Wet tubing with water and insert into union connecter until mark
(3/4˝) is flush with this fitting.
3) Double check that the water supply is directed to the filter inlet and
the outlet is directed to the sink cold faucet line.
PLACING FILTER IN OPERATION
Turn on water supply valve and check for leaks.
1) Leave the cold water faucet at the sink turned off to allow system to
come up to pressure. Recheck for leaks after 3 minutes.
2) Turn on filter water dispensing faucet and allow water to run until
clear. Normally 2-3 minutes is adequate.
CONNECTING ADDITIONAL WATER USING APPLIANCES TO THIS
FILTERING SYSTEM AND OPTIONAL SURGE TANK
You can readily connect your refrigerator ice / water dispensing system to
this filter. Connect a 3/8˝ reducing tee in the line between the filter and
faucet (see instruction example)
1) If your refrigerator is equipped with a built-in filter already consult
your instruction manual for by-pass instructions.
There will be no need to use both and one does not want to leave in the
refrigerator filter without replacing it periodically so you will want to bypass
it at this time.
2) Multiple tees can be inserted to service other appliances and loca-
tions. Consult the appliance instructions for inlet tube size!
a. Built-in coffee makers
b. Instant Hot taps/under counter chillers
c. Prep sink, other sink locations that you can conveniently run a 3/8˝
line to service the existing sink faucet
3) Optional Surge Tank AP-8002
a. Install 3/8” tee between filter and dispensing faucet
b. Install 3/8” x 1/4” NPT shut off valve to storage tank
c. Position tank in convenience location near filter system
d. Field cut 3/8” tubing to lenght and install in 3/8” tee and storage
tank shut off valve. Check for leaks!!! This will provide filtered water
from storage tank and filter system to increase flow rate out of dispensing
faucet.
