®
• Teflon tape
NOTE: It is recommended that before purchasing a water treatment unit, you have your water tested to
determine your actual water treatment needs.
The Kinetico Drinking Water Filter with MACguard must be mounted in a vertical position, and the total hookup
distance should be limited to not more than 15 feet.
1. (For systems installed with a faucet.)
Determine the best location for the drinking water faucet on the sink using
an existing sprayer hole or other pre-drilled hole. If you have to disconnect
and remove your faucet sprayer, follow the instructions provided by the
faucet manufacturer.
If you do not have an existing hole that can accommodate the drinking
water faucet, you will have to drill one yourself or have one professionally
drilled. Do not attempt to drill a hole into your sink unless you have
previous experience doing so and have the necessary tools. Contact the
manufacturer of your sink for instructions on how to drill a separate hole.
If you need further assistance, your local Kinetico dealer can install the
system for a nominal charge.
Follow these steps to install the faucet on the sink top.
• Slide the small black rubber gasket onto the threaded shaft on the faucet
base.
• Slide the chrome escutcheon onto the threaded shaft to the small black
rubber gasket.
• Slide the large black rubber gasket onto the threaded shaft to the
escutcheon.
• Insert these assembled parts into hole in sink top.
Note: It will be helpful at this time to have an assistant hold the faucet
base on the sink top.
• Working from under sink, slide plastic locating washer (small diameter up)
onto threaded shaft and hold in place.
• Slide metal washer onto threaded shaft and hold in place against locating
washer.
• Thread the 9/16" brass nut onto the threaded shaft. Hold faucet base on
sink top firmly and tighten nut up to the metal washer.
• Remove plastic tubing insert from top of faucet base. Firmly insert the
spout into the faucet base.
