2.Use a pencil to mark on the wall where the top of tank needs to be located. Set tank aside. Mark a second line 2-1/4"

(5.7 cm) below the first line.

IMPORTANT: The tank must be positioned so that the copper tubing and flexible tubing from the faucet does not kink.

3.Position mounting bracket on wall so that bottom of mounting bracket is even with the lower line.
