3. Continue to enlarge the pilot hole with larger metal cutting bits until
the hole is 1/2"
4. Clean up any sharp edges
Note: Air gap faucets are required by some local plumbing codes.
These faucets require a 1-1/4" hole in the sink rather than the 1/2" hole
required by the standard RO faucet. If a large enough hole (1-1/4") is
not already available, special tools (such as a chassis punch or a
Relton cutter) may be required. Contact your local plumber or
contractor if you are unable to make the required hole yourself. If an air
gap faucet is required, we provide a number of different styles and
colors; contact us for pricing and availability.
Once the faucet location has been prepared, move on to the next step:
Mounting the Faucet.
Mounting the Faucet:
1. Remove all parts from the RO faucet shank. Using Figure 1, gather
the pieces shown. NOTE: The diagram is for the standard RO
faucet, an upgraded faucet may look slightly different than the one
pictured, but the parts should be similar.
2. Place color matched washer onto faucet shank, followed by the
small rubber washer. Position the faucet in the mounting location by
sliding the shank through the mounting hole.
3. On the underside of the mounting hole, slide the large rubber washer
and locking washer in place, then tighten the faucet nut in place until
secure.
4. Once your system is installed, you can hook up the product line to
the faucet. The best way to do so is to wrap the bottom of the faucet shank with 6-7 wraps of Teflon
tape, then attach the quick connect faucet fitting. The product line will then push directly into the
fitting. An alternate method of attaching the line is to slide the line nut over the product line, followed
by the ferrule, then push the insert into the end of the line. Once that is done simply push the end of
the product line into the bottom of the faucet shank as far as it will go, then tighten the line nut to
secure it in place.
Storage Tank:
As the RO system makes water it pushes it into a tank to store it, and a pressurized bladder in the tank
pushes it back out (through the same opening) when requested (such as opening the faucet). The large
male threaded fitting on one end of the tank is the inlet and outlet of the tank. A pressure valve on the
side of the tank (usually covered with a blue screw-on cap) is used only for checking and adding air to
the bladder. The tank is shipped with 4-6psi of air pressure in the bladder, and is sufficient in most
cases. Pressure may be increased to no higher than 10psi when the tank is empty, this will cause
water to come out of the faucet a little faster if so desired. NOTE: As the tank is emptied, pressure from
the faucet will decrease, this is normal.
To Prepare the Tank:
1. Wrap the threaded nipple on the end of the tank with 6-7 wraps of Teflon tape.
2. Install tank ball valve on prepared nipple, tightening hand tight only. Once your system is connected,
your tank line will connect to this fitting
