Choose a Location; See Figure 1.
1. Position the filter housing bracket on the wall of the cabinet
nearest the cold water line beneath the sink. Leave a 3" mini-
mum clearance between the bottom of the filter housing and
the floor of the cabinet. Mark the bracket slots on the wall.
2. Drill a 1/8" hole at each of the two marks, and insert the mount-
ing screws. Leave each screw head 1/4" out from the wall.

1. A. For stainless steel sinks you can drill a 7/8" diameter hole in a
convenient location or use the existing sprayer hole. Mark the
hole location with a punch before drilling.
B. For porcelain sinks, place a piece of masking tape over the
faucet location, then mark the position with a punch before
drilling. NOTE: A special drill is required for porcelain sinks.

ber washer onto the threaded stem and insert the faucet stem
and rubber washer assembly into the sink hole.
