Water Factory Systems FM1500 Faucet - Manual (Page 3)

Installation Precautions
• The filter must be installed with the inlet and outlet ports
as labeled. Make sure not to reverse con nec tions.
• Do not install on hot water line. Maximum
temperature allowed is 100°F (38°C).
• Do not install on line pressure above 125 psi
(862
kPa).
•
Do not use torch or other high temperature
sources near filter head or plas tic cartridge.
• Do not install near electric wires or water pipes which
will be in path of drill when selecting the position to
mount the bracket.
• Do not install in direct sunlight.
• Protect from freezing. Drain filter when room temperature
drops be low 40°F (4.4°C).
• Allow minimum of 2" (5 cm) clear space under filter to
facilitate car tridge change.
• Mount filter in such a position as to prevent it from being
struck by oth er items, such as wastebaskets, etc.
• Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or
of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction
may be used on disinfected waters that may contain
filterable cysts.
• System installation must comply with existing
state or local plumbing codes.
• IMPORTANT: Some local plumbing codes may prohibit
the use of saddle-type valves and/or drain connections.
The use of saddle-type valves are prohibited in Alaska,
Delaware, Idaho, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan,
Minnesota, New Hampshire, Ohio, and South Dakota.
Check your local plumbing codes for any restrictions
that apply. Massachusetts CMR 248 strictly prohibits the
use ofsaddle-type valves. The feed water connection
must conform to applicable plumbing codes.
Procedure for Installing
FM DWS 1500
A. Determine System Location
The filtration system can be located under a sink. Never
install in an area of the home where the temperature may
drop to freezing as damage to the system will result.
The exact placement of the various components of the
appliance will vary from installation to installation. The
installer, in conjunction with the customer, must decide on
where to place the faucet and filtration system by balancing
the homeowners convenience with ease of installation and
servicing. (See Fig. 1)
B. Prepare The Area For Installation
Remove supplies from under the sink and stack them neatly
away from the working area. Arrange a light for the work area,
if necessary. If a basement installation is called for, determine
where components will be located and how they will be
mounted. Special mounting brackets and hardware may be
necessary to secure the system to a wall or ceiling joints.
Inspect cold water supply line to determine if any special
fittings, in addition to what is included in the kit, are
required.
NOTE: It is a good idea at this time to check the condition
of the customer’s undercounter plumbing for any existing
or potential leaks. The customer should be advised of any
problem so there is no mis
under standing of who is
responsible.
