Installation Instructions

FAUCET INSTALLATION

Be sure there is room underneath the sink to
make the needed connections. Select one of
the following locations 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: Be sure the faucet base will fit flat
against the surface at the selected location
so the gasket will seal.

1. If drilling is needed, make a 1-1/4

″ dia.

hole. Be sure to use the proper procedure
for drilling porcelain or stainless steel.

2. Insert the faucet spout into the body.

Tighten cap until snug.

3. Feed the blue, 1/4

″ black and 3/8″ black

tubes up through the hole in the
countertop or sink.

4. Feed the two black tubes up through the

gasket, faucet base and O-ring.

NOTE: For ease of service and maintenance,
keep tubing lengths long enough so removal
of the Reverse Osmosis system from under
the sink is possible.

5. Push the 1/4

″ black and 3/8″ black tubing

onto their respective barb fittings on the
body.

6. Seat the base and body together. Make

sure the O-ring and gasket are in place
when the base meets the body. The faucet
handle will be at the 3 o’clock position
with respect to the base.

7. Slide the lock washer onto the threaded

stem of the body, then thread the brass
nut onto the stem. Screw about halfway up.

8. Screw the tubing adapter to the threaded

stem of the body.

9. Push the blue tubing into the adapter. It

should go in about 1/2

″. Pull on it to make

sure it is installed securely.

10. Feed the tubing and stem back down

through the 1-1/4

″ hole.

11. Under the counter, insert the mounting

disk above the lock washer and tighten
the brass nut until snug.
