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

Tighten screws evenly and firmly, brackets should be parallel.
To reduce the risk associated with a hazardous voltage due to an installer drilling through
existing electric wiring or water pipes in the area of installation:
 •Do not install near electric wiring or piping which may be in the path of a drilling tool when
selecting the position to mount the filter bracket.
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
•Shutoffcoldwatervalveunderthesinkbeforeinstallingfeedwatervalve.
•InstallationandUseMUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes.
