Installation Instructions
Step A - Install Supply Water Fitting
Step B - Make Hole For Filtered Water Faucet
IMPORTANT:
To avoid damaging the sink, consult a qualified plumber or installer for drilling procedures
in porcelain, stainless steel or granite. Special drill bits are made for this.
1
. Select one of the following places to install the faucet. Be sure there is room underneath so you can
make the needed connections.
In an existing sink spray attachment hole.
Drill a hole in the sink top.
Drill a hole in the countertop next to the sink.
2
. If drilling is needed make a 1-1/4" dia. (minimum) hole for the faucet.
Check and comply with local plumbing codes as you plan, then install a cold feed (supply) water fitting.
The fitting must provide a leak-tight connection to the water filter 3/8" tubing. A typical connection using
the included water supply fitting is shown in Figure 3A. An optional connection using standard plumbing
fittings (not included) is shown in Figure 3B.
Cold Water Supply Fitting
1
. Close the water shut off valve that is immediately before supply fitting and open faucets to drain water
from the sink cold water pipe.
2
. Remove nut that connects the cold water faucet to cold water plumbing.
3
. Thread water supply fitting onto pipe and reconnect nut to bottom of fitting.
Optional Pipe Fittings
(compression type shown)
NOTE:
Be sure to turn off the water supply and open a faucet to drain the pipe.
Complying with plumbing codes, install a fitting on the cold water pipe to adapt 3/8" OD tubing. A typical
connection is shown in Figure 3B. If threaded fittings are used, be sure to use pipe joint compound or
thread sealing tape on outside threads.
