DRINKING WATER FAUCET INSTALLATION
To reduce the risk of eye injury while drilling countertop for faucet installations:
• Safety glasses MUST be worn during the sink hole drilling operations.
•
The drinking water system faucet should be located on a fl at surface, conveniently located near the sink, so that it
empties into the sink. Most sinks have pre-drilled holes designated for sprayers, soap dispensers, and other ac-
cessories. If your sink does not have an extra hole, we highly recommend professional installation.
•
Porcelain, enamel, and ceramic sinks require special procedures for drilling holes. Professional installation is
highly recommended. (See page 6)
Drilling 9/16" diameter hole through countertop or stainless steel sink:
1. Locate area to be drilled. Mark center of hole with center punch.
2. Drill hole with 9/16" drill bit suitable for countertop materials or cast iron/stainless steel.
3. With grinding wheel or fi le,
smooth out any rough edges.
Installing the faucet:
1. Slide the following parts in the
order specifi ed up blue tubing and
threaded stem:
a. Metal bezel
b. Large rubber washer
2. Next, feed blue tubing and faucet
stem down through faucet mount-
ing hole.
3. From underneath sink, assemble
the black spacer, star washer,
and hex nut (as shown) onto the
threaded stem and tighten by hand.
4. With a padded adjustable wrench,
turn the faucet base (above the
counter) to the right to securely
fasten. Raise faucet handle and
remove plastic shipping tube from
base.
5. Insert faucet neck onto base until
seated and align over sink. Lower

IMPORTANT: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
For Use With Cold Water Only.
NOTE: Remove items from under the sink. Place catch basin under cold water faucet stem to collect small amounts of
water that may run out when disconnecting water supply lines.
1. Open faucet and turn off cold water supply valve and
remove existing water supply tubing and/or fi tting.
2. Select and mark a location for the system under the sink
that allows access for replacement fi lter changeout and
convenient hook up to the tubing attached faucet.
NOTE: 1/4" union adapter along with segment of 36" long
tubing can be used to extend tubing attached faucet.
3. Using Filter Head Assembly as a guide, fasten Filter Head
Assembly to wall with 2 Phillips mounting screws supplied.
Mark hole locations so that there is 1 1/2" between the
screws (see Figure 2), from center of each screw. When
installed, fi lter bottom should be at least 2 1/2" from sink
cabinet fl oor to facilitate fi lter change. Install screws, but
only halfway, so you can easily slip the bracket to wall
