Preferred Installation Options

(Options A, B and C)

OPTION A.

BASEMENT ACCESS INSTALLATION (Fig. 3A)

Route the drain line DIRECTLY from the Reverse Osmosis system to a standpipe in the basement, by-passing the air gap provided in the faucet. The drain line may also be routed in the basement to a floor drain or washtub, provided that the air gap in the basement is maintained. Avoid dips, loops or low spots in the drain line. The basement air gap and drain installation configuration must conform to all local codes. Special air gap fittings are available to connect the drain line to the top of the standpipe.

OPTION B.

SEPARATE VENT INSTALLATION— 2 P-TRAP (DRY-VENTED) (Fig. 3B)

Install a separate dry-vented p-trap under the sink to be used exclusively for the Reverse Osmosis drain line.

A dry-vented p-trap is a p-trap that has its own vent/stack. Attach the provided drain line adapter to the p-trap and secure it with the slip joint nut and washer as shown. Route the drain line from the air gap to the drain line adapter ensuring that there are no dips, loops or low spots in the line, which could result in a clogged drain line. The drain line adapter should be aligned vertically such that the hose connection points in a direction 45° off vertical. (See Fig. 3E.) The drain line must be routed through the air gap provided in the RO water faucet.

OPTION C.

SHARED VENT INSTALLATION— 2 P-TRAP (WET-VENTED) (Fig. 3C)

Install a p-trap under the sink to be used exclusively for the Reverse Osmosis drain line. A wet-vented p-trap is a p-trap that shares a common vent/stack. Attach the provided drain line adapter to the p-trap and secure it with the slip joint nut and washer as shown. Route the drain line from the air gap to the drain line adapter ensuring that there are no dips, loops or low spots in the line, which could result in a clogged drain line. The drain line adapter should be aligned vertically such that the hose connection points in a direction 45° off vertical. (See Fig. 3E.) The drain line must be routed through the air gap provided in the RO water faucet. Locate the p-trap as high as possible (minimum of 4″ above horizontal pipe from second sink or disposer).
