Selecting The Faucet Location - Pentair OMNIFILTER T600R Installation And Operation Manual

INSTALLATION CONTINUED . . .
1. Installing the Water Supply Adapter
The supply adapter fits 1/2"-14 NPS supply threads or
3/8" x 3/8" compression. If local codes permit, it may be used to connect the
system to the cold water supply line. If local codes do not permit the use of the
supply adapter, alternate connectors can be obtained from your local supplier.
Directions:
(A) Turn off cold water supply line. If cold water line does not have a shut-off
valve under the sink, you should install one.
(B) Turn on the cold water faucet and allow all water to drain from line.
(C) Disconnect riser cold water supply valve.
(D) Ensure the sealing gasket is fully seated into the feed adapter valve female
thread.
(E) Install feed adapter valve onto supply valve as desired. The feed adapter valve
may be installed at the bottom of the supply hose or the top of the cold water
line. Hand tighten only.
(F) Connect the riser to the feed adapter valve.
NOTE: Be careful not to cross-thread.

2. Selecting the Faucet Location

The drinking water faucet should be positioned with function, convenience, and
appearance in mind. An adequate flat area is required to allow faucet base to rest
securely. The faucet fits through a 3/4" hole. Most sinks have pre-drilled 1-3⁄8" or
1-1⁄2" diameter holes that may be used for faucet installation. If these pre-drilled
holes cannot be used or are in an inconvenient location, it will be necessary to
drill a 3/4" hole in the sink to accommodate the faucet.
This procedure may generate dusts which can cause severe irritation if
CAUTION
inhaled or come in contact with the eyes. The use of safety glasses and
safety mask for this procedure is recommended.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DRILL THROUGH AN ALL-PORCELAIN SINK. If
CAUTION
you have an all-porcelain sink, mount the faucet in pre-drilled sprayer
hole or drill through countertop next to sink.
When drilling through a countertop, make sure the area below the
CAUTION
drilled area is free of wiring and piping. Make certain that you have
ample room to make the proper connections to the bottom of the
faucet.
Do not drill through a countertop that is more than 1" thick.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to drill through a tiled, marble, granite or similar
CAUTION
countertop. Consult a plumber or the countertop manufacturer for
advice or assistance.
The following instructions apply to stainless steel sinks ONLY.
(A) Line bottom of sink with newspaper to prevent shavings, parts or tools from
falling down the drain.
(B) Place masking tape over the area to be drilled to help prevent scratches if
drill bit slips.
(C) Mark point with center punch. Use a 1/4" drill bit to drill a pilot hole through
sink.
(D) Use a 1-
⁄ " hole saw to enlarge hole. Smooth rough edges with a file.
