Faucet Installation
Be sure there is room underneath the sink to make the
needed connections. Select one of the following places
to install the faucet:
— IN an existing sink spray attachment or soap
dispenser hole.
— IN a hole to be drilled in the sink top.
— IN a hole to be drilled in the countertop,
next to the sink.
NOTE: Looking at Fig. 4B, be sure the faucet base will fit
flat against the surface at the selected location so the
gasket will seal.
If drilling is needed, make a 1-1/4
″ dia. hole.
Be sure to use the proper procedure for drilling
porcelain or stainless steel.
Place base on threaded stem (flange facing down).
Next, place large gasket on threaded stem, making
sure the stem and two barbed studs fit through the
gasket. Place spacer on stud (open end up) followed
by metal washer and hex nut (Fig. 4A).
Insert washer into tubing adapter. Securely tighten
to faucet stud.
Take the 27
″ length of 3/8″ tubing and push one
end completely onto the 3/8
″ faucet barb fitting
(Fig. 4B).
Position the Reverse Osmosis system under the sink.
Referring to Fig. 5, on the next page, hang the
system on cabinet wall.
Route the 1/4
″ tubing (marked “1⁄4″ BARB ON
FAUCET”) and the 3/8
″ tubing (marked “FAUCET”)
up through the mounting hole:
Push one end of the 1/4
″ tubing onto the 1/4″
barb on the faucet.
Using the compression nut, fasten the 3/8
″ tubing
to the tubing adapter and tighten the nut. Make
sure the tubing is completely seated in the adapter.
Remove the short shipping tube and insert the spout
into the faucet body.
Lower the faucet assembly through the sink.
Under the counter, place the mounting plate above
spacer and securely tighten the hex nut. 9
