STEP 1:
Mount Auxiliary Faucet
Note: This faucet is designed to fit a 5/8" clearance hole
and should clear a 9/16" hole. Most standard sinks come
with 1-3/8" or 1-1/2" diameter water sprayer holes that
can be used to mount this faucet. If the pre-drilled holes
cannot be used or are not in the desired position, a new
hole must be drilled using either a 9/16" or 5/8" drill bit.
The faucet should be positioned securely on a flat
surface with adequate space for proper function.
If you need to drill a hole, go to (1). If you will be using
a pre-drilled hole, go to (5).
1. Line sink with newspaper or towel to prevent parts and
materials from falling down the drain.
2. To help prevent scratching the sink surface or countertop
should the drill bit slip, apply masking tape to the area
to be drilled.
STEP 2:
Install The Angle Stop Valve Adapter
Note: This adaptor is designed to fit ½" NPTF supply threads.
1. Locate the cold water shut-off valve under the sink.
Turn off the cold water supply.
2. Turn on the kitchen faucet. This will release pressure
and allow water to completely drain from the line.
STEP 3:
1. Select easily accessible area under
the sink to mount the filter system.
2. Mount system to a solid cabinet wall or wall.
If this is not an option, use toggle bolts or
hollow-wall anchor bolts (not included) to
secure the system to the surface.
3. Allow a minimum clearance of 4-6" below
the filter cartridges to allow ample space for
cartridge changes. The filter system must be
mounted in a vertical position.
STEP 4:
Install Plastic Tubing For Water Supply Line From
Angle Stop Valve Adapter To System Head Inlet
1. Determine the length of tubing necessary to
connect the system head inlet to the Angle Stop
Valve Adapter making sure to allow enough tubing
to prevent kinking in the line.
2. Check the tubing to be square on both ends
ensuring no jagged edges. If necessary, cut ends
of tubing to be square with no jagged edges, as
this can cause inappropriate seal of tubing in
collet inlet/outlet ports.
3. Mark the drill hole using a center punch.
4. Make a pilot hole using the 1/4" drill bit. Use the 9/16"
or 5/8" drill bit to drill the final hole. Drill through
the sink or countertop completely and smooth rough
edges with a file.
5. Unscrew the faucet stem nut from the faucet stem, and
remove the metal lock washer. Slip the threaded
faucet stem into the sink or countertop hole ensuring
faucet sits flat on top of the sink or countertop.
6. Under the sink, slide the metal lock washer up the faucet
stem and secure with the faucet stem nut.
Tighten until slightly snug and check to ensure the faucet
spout is in the correct position. Using fingers,
tighten the nut to secure the faucet to the sink.
3. Disconnect the cold water faucet line from the ½"
threaded stem on the bottom of the kitchen faucet.
4. Holding the Angle Stop Valve Adapter in an
upright position, thread the female side of the
faucet adapter on to the cold water supply valve.
5. Attach the cold water supply line for the faucet
to the male - top side of the adapter.
4. After removing the cap from the manifold,
use the back panel as your mounting template
marking the holes for the mounting screws
on the wall surface.
5. Drill two pilot holes for the mounting screws using
a 1/8" drill bit. Insert mounting screws into the wall
with a Phillips screwdriver leaving approximately
3/8" of each mounting screw exposed.
6. Position the system head on the eyes of the
bracket and replace the system head cap.
3. Without bending or crimping the tubing, wet one
end of the tubing with water and push it into the Angle
Stop Valve Adapter approximately 5/8" until it stops.
4. Wet the other end of the tubing with water and push
it into the system head inlet on the left side of the
manifold approximately 5/8" until it stops.
5. The tubing does not have to be disconnected for
cartridge replacement or routine maintenance,
however, it may be easily disconnected if desired.
To disconnect, turn off the water supply to the filter
system and press the grey collar around the fitting
while pulling the tubing out with the other hand.
