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
1
⁄
8
" 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
1
⁄
2
"
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.
