METAL PRODUCT WATER FAUCET INSTALLATION AND SYSTEM CONNECTIONS
Install faucet on flat surface at least 2” in diameter. Unused 1 1/4” hole is ideal.
Steps unique to a specific configuration are so noted. All other steps are common to either configuration.
New Faucet Installation
refer to Faucet Site Preparation, Page 5.
Replacement Faucet Installation
Verify size of existing hole is 1 1/4”.
NOTE: Item callouts refer to Figure 7 unless noted otherwise.
1. Air Gap Only: Verify faucet body, metal base washer, and rub-
ber base washer are in place above sink (items 1, 3, and 2).
2. CAUTION: Flow Restrictor (FLR) is installed insidethe 1/4” red tub-
ing on the end with the label. do NoT TriM
THE END OF THE 1/4” FLR RED TUBING THAT
INCLUDES THE LABEL (See Figure 8).
Air Gap Only: Install 3/8” red tubing from Installation Kit onto
larger hose barb as shown in Figure 7.
3. Air Gap Only: Connect the 1/4” FLR red tubing end
with Flr label between the module red collet near
symbol shown and the faucet:
a. Air Gap Only: Insert the 3/8” red tube into the mounting hole.
b. Air Gap Only: Insert the 1/4” FLR red tubing
upwards through mounting hole.
c. Air Gap Only: Position module in desired location. Trim the
end of Flr tubing without label to desired length. Attach Flr
tubing onto smaller hose barb as shown in Figure 7.
4. lower faucet into mounting hole and place faucet over hole.
5. Air Gap Only: install slotted washer, spacer, faucet washer, and
nut onto faucet nipple below sink and snug them up (items 4, 5,
6, and 7). Be sure to properly align faucet before tightening. Do
not over tighten.
6. Install faucet connector (Item 8), packaged with faucet, onto
faucet nipple. Install 3/8” blue tube into faucet connector.
7. Trim 3/8” blue tube to desired length. Install 3/8” blue
tube into 3/8” blue collet located on side of module
near symbol as shown.
8. CAUTION: Red 3/8” tube connecting product water
faucet to drain saddle must run vertically (or as closely as pos-
sible) with no sharp bends or loops (See Figure 4).
Connect loose ends of tubing as follows:
Air Gap Only: Connect 3/8” red tubing to 3/8” on drain saddle
using compression nut.
refer to steps 2-4 in Polymer Tank Assembly for use of compres-
sion nuts.
Storage Tank Connection - Polymer Tank Assembly
NOTE: The following instructions refer to Page iV, Figure 1.B., item 1.
1. Hand-tighten the ball valve onto the ro storage tank.
CAUTION: do not over tighten ball valve as this may strip threads
or compromise the “o” ring seal.
2. Slide compression nut over 3/8” white tubing.
3. Push 3/8” white tubing into the ball valve as far as possible.
4. While holding 3/8” white tubing in the ball valve, hand-tighten
the compression nut onto the ball valve.
5. The basic installation is complete and system is ready for activa-
tion (See Page 10).
6. Connect 3/8” white tubing to the white collet on the
module.
Storage Tank Connection - Metal Tank Assembly
NOTE: The following instructions refer to Page iV,
Figure 1.B, items 2 & 3.
NOTE: refer to Page 2, inter-Component Connections for
instructions on how to install tubing.
1. install ball valve (located inside of master pack box) onto the
1/4” storage tank nipple. Use thread sealing tape to seal threads
between ball valve and nipple.
2. Connect 3/8” white tubing between module
(near symbol as shown) and storage tank
shut-off valve.
3. The basic installation is complete and system is ready for
activation (see Page 10).
NOTE: With the storage tank empty, ensure the air-cell pre-charge
is set to manufacturers instructions marked on tank. Use a hand
power air pump to top up if necessary.
WARNING: Never use an air compressor to fill air cell of a reverse
osmosis system storage tank.
NOTE: optional stem elbows have been supplied to allow
installations with limited space to be simpler. Connect the
stem elbow into the inlet, faucet, tank and drain parts as
required before connecting tubing.
