1. Install Drinking Water System Faucet (Refer to Figure 4, Page 7)
Note: The drinking water system faucet should be located on a flat surface, conveniently located near the
sink, so that it empties into the sink. Most sinks have pre-drilled holes designated for sprayers, soap
dispensers, and other accessories. If your sink does not have an extra hole, then a 9/16” diameter hole must
be drilled.
Warning: Porcelain, enamel, and ceramic sinks require special procedures for drilling holes. Refer to the
special section on porcelain, enamel, and ceramic sinks for detailed instructions.
Instructions for drilling 9/16” diameter hole through countertop or stainless steel sink
A. Locate area to be drilled. Mark center of the hole with center punch.
B. Drill hole with 9/16” drill bit suitable for countertop materials or cast iron/stainless steel.
C. With grinding wheel or file, smooth out any rough edges.
Installing the Faucet
A. Slide the following parts in the order specified up blue tubing and threaded brass stem:
1. Stainless steel bezel
2. Large rubber washer
B. Next, feed blue tubing and faucet stem down through faucet mounting hole.
C. From underneath sink, assemble the black spacer, star washer, and hex nut (as shown Fig.4, Page 7)
onto the threaded brass stem and tighten by hand.
D. With a padded adjustable wrench, turn the faucet base (above the counter) to the right to securely
fasten. Remove piece of plastic tubing from base.
E. Insert faucet neck onto base until seated and align over sink.
2. Mount System
Determine undersink mounting location
Warning: Before drilling holes under your sink, locate any hidden electrical wires or plumbing behind the
mounting surface. Note adjacent appliances (dishwasher, refrigerator, trash compactor, oven) which may
interfere with the system fastening screws.
Note: Be sure to locate the unit where there is a minimum of 2” (5 cm) clearance below the unit to facilitate
cartridge changes.
