SELECT LOCATION OF REVERSE OSMOSIS FAUCET MOUNTING HOLE
You will need to select the location of the Reverse
Osmosis Faucet. You have three options to choose
from:
• Use the existing sink top hole for the spray hose
or soap dispenser (Must be 1-1/4" in diameter)
• Drill a new hole in the sink
• Drill a new hole in the countertop next to the
sink
1. Determine where you are going to install your
Reverse Osmosis Faucet.
2. Check to ensure the Reverse Osmosis faucet will
mount flat against the mounting surface.
Step E - Install RO Faucet
3. Visually review the routing of the tubes from the
Reverse Osmosis filter assembly to the faucet.
Check to ensure there is adequate tube routing
space between the faucet and filter assembly.
4. If drilling is needed, drill a 1-1/4" diameter hole in
the mounting surface.
IMPORTANT: Drilling holes into countertops and
sinks should only be performed by an installer
who is qualified for drilling such materials.
Drilling of surfaces made of stone or solid sur-
face materials such as granite, marble or plastic
resin products, or sinks made of porcelain or
stainless steel may cause permanent, irreparable
damage to the sink or countertop surface.
