FAUCET ASSEMBLY

FAUCET MOUNTING 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. Special drill bits may be needed. Consult a qualified plumber for proper procedure.

2.Remove the faucet, thin o-ring (D), faucet base (E), bottom base gasket (F), lock washer (G), hex nut (H) and mounting bracket (I) from the packaging.

3.Feed the 3/8″ blue banded, 1/4″ black tube

(attached to the Reverse Osmosis System) and the 3/8″ black tube (included in separate packaging) up through the mounting hole in the sink or countertop. This step may require two people to assemble. See page 14 for Optional

One Person Faucet Tubing Installation.

4.Feed the two black tubes up through the gasket (F), faucet base (E) and O-ring (D).

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 fittings on the body (B).

NOTE: To ease insertion, submerge tubing ends into hot water for a few minutes to soften.

6.Seat the base (E) and body (B) 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 (B), then thread the hex nut (H) onto the stem. Screw about halfway up.

NOTE: If installing faucet on a stainless steel sink, slide on installation spacer (M) before the lock washer.

8.Screw the blue tipped tubing adapter (K) onto the threaded stem of the body (B).

9.Push the blue banded tubing into the adapter. It should go in about 3/4″. Pull on it to make sure it is installed correctly.

10.Feed the tubing and stem back down through the 1-1/4″hole.

11.Lower the faucet assembly into place in the mounting hole and orient to final position. Place the mounting bracket (I) above the lock washer (G) around the faucet stem. While holding the mounting bracket in place, securely tighten the hex nut. This step may require two people.
