STEP 1

Mounting System Under Sink

Step A Locate a space under the sink that allows the unit to be

mounted close to the cold water supply and allows for

easy access during maintenance and filter changes. Allow

2" (50mm) clearance between the bottom of the filter

housing and the floor of the sink cabinet.

Step B Using the mounting hole on the bracket, mark the loca-

tion for the mounting screws on the cabinet wall under the

sink.

Step C Screw the (2) screws into the wall at the marked locations.
Step D The UV modules bracket is designed to be mounted

without removing the screws. Hang the UV module on the

screws using the mounting holes in the bracket.

Drill a Hole for the Faucet in a Porcelain Sink

Note: Most sinks are predrilled with 1½" or 1¼" diameter hole

that you can use for your RO faucet. (If you are already using it

for a sprayer or soap dispenser, see Step 2).
Caution: Porcelain sinks are extremely hard and can crack or

chip easily.
Use extreme caution when drilling. Watts accepts no responsi-

bility for damage resulting from the installation of faucet.

Step A – Determine desired location for

the RO faucet on your sink

and place a piece of masking

tape on over where the hole is

to be drilled. Mark the center

of the hole on the tape.

Step B – Using a variable speed drill

set on the slowest speed, drill

a

" pilot hole through both

porcelain and metal casing

of sink at the marked center

of the desired location. Use

lubricating oil or liquid soap to

keep the drill bit cool. (If drill

bit gets hot, it may cause the

porcelain to crack or chip).

Step C – Using a 1¼" hole saw, pro-

ceed to drill the large hole.

Keep drill speed on the slow-

est speed and use lubricating

oil or liquid soap to keep the

hole saw cool during cutting.

Step D – Make sure the surroundings

of the sink are cooled before

mounting the faucet to the

sink after drilling and remove

all sharp edges.

STEP 2

Punch a Hole for the Faucet in a Stainless

Steel Sink

Note: If mounting faucet to a Stainless

Steel Sink, you will need a 1¼" Hole

Punch. The faucet opening should be

centered between the back splash

and the edge of the sink, ideally on the

same side as the vertical drain pipe.

Step A – Drill a ¼" pilot hole. Use a

Hole Punch and an adjustable

wrench to punch the hole in the

sink. Change to the 1¼" Hole

Punch to enlarge the hole

The faucet can now be installed.
