Reverse Osmosis Module Mounting
Step 22
Determine best location for the RO System to be mounted to allow
for future system maintenance. The parts bag has 2 self tapping
screws. Using an electric drill with a Phillips bit, screw them into
the cabinet wall 6” apart and 16” from the bottom of the cabinet.

Step 20 Position the storage tank in desired location. Measure the
yellow tube from Tee fitting to tank and cut it to desired length.
Step 19 Locate the yellow tube
and a plastic tube insert in the parts bag.
Push the entire plastic insert into yellow tube. To
connect the
tube to the Tee fitting on the post filter which is clipped on to the
membrane housing,
slip the yellow tube through the white
compression nut, hand tighten the white nut and add 1/4 turn
with a wrench.
(Refer to diagram on page 5)
Locate a plastic
tube insert in the parts bag.
Push the entire
plastic insert into the yellow tube connected to the RO system in
previous step. To
connect the tube to the tank ball valve fitting on
the storage tank,
slip the yellow tube through the white
compression nut, hand tighten the white nut and add 1/4 turn
with a wrench.
(Refer to diagram on page 5)
Step 21
Thread the plastic ball valve onto the tank fitting -
ball valve must seal against rubber
O-ring on tank. Do not over tighten or the valve could crack.
Make sure the O-ring is located at the bottom of the recess for the tank connection.
Do not use Teflon tape!
