-STEP 5: INSTALL STORAGE TANK, MAKE REMAINING TUBING CONNECTIONS -
1. CONNECT DRAIN TUBING, FAUCET TO
DRAIN ADAPTER: Referring to FIG. 8, run the loose
section (connected to faucet barb fitting) of black
3 / 8" tubing from the faucet to the drain adapter, with
a black collet, installed on page 6. Cut this tubing as
needed to route in as straight of a run as possible,
without loops, dips, low spots or kinks. Cut the end of the tubing square. Then push all the way into the fitting. Pull on the tubing to be sure it's held firmly
in the adapter fitting. See pages 12 and 13 for tubing
connection instructions.
2. CONNECT TUBING TO WATER SUPPLY: Con- nect the feed (green) tube to the water supply fitting
installed on page 5. Connection to the fitting is as de-
scribed in Fig. 11, page 13.
3.Move the storage tankinto place next to the RO as-
sembly. You can stand the tank upright, or lay it on side. Apply no more than 2 wraps of Teflon tape to the threads on the nipple at the top of the tank. Hand
tighten the other included tubing adapter fitting
with the yellow collet onto the tank nipple, then
wrench 1/4 turn only. BE CAREFUL NOT TO CROSS THREAD.
4.Run the 3/8" yeUow tubing to the fitting installed in step 3. Be sure the end of the tubing is cut square, and insert all the way into the fitting. Again, pull on the tubing to be sure it's held firmly in the fitting.
