Appendix For Basement Installations - Water Factory Systems N4000 Series Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

C) Familiarize family members with the general
operation of their new RO drinking water appliance.
In particular, note the following:
• The faucet handle positions, down for momentary
flow, and up for continuous flow. Also, note the
moveable spout.
• The location of the feed valve and tank shut off
valve as well as the procedure for turning them off.
• Review the many uses of the water (cooking,
soups, juices, ice cubes, baby formulas, pets,
plants, etc.).
• Review the recommended maintenance schedule
as determined by local water conditions.
Appendix For Installations
The following variations are generally required for
basement installations:
I. Install The Drain Connection (Fig. 2)
For basement installations, the drain saddle
is generally not used. Instead, the RO reject line is
routed so that it drains into a laundry sink, floor
drain, or standpipe through an approved air gap.
II. Mount The Faucet (Fig.5)
If you choose to use the air gap faucet
included with the RO system, follow the faucet
installation instructions given earlier in the manual.
Do not hook up any air gap tubing to the faucet
since an alternate air gap will be used elsewhere in
the drain line.
If you choose to use the optional non-air gap
faucet, follow the instructions below.
A) Familiarize yourself with all components shown in
the diagram of the non-air gap faucet.
B) Assemble only the chrome base plate and rubber
sealing washer onto the threaded nipple.
(Plumber's putty may be used in place of sealing
washer for neater appearance.)
C) Feed threaded nipple through sink/counter
mounting hole (9/16" hole is adequate).
D) From below the sink/counter assemble plastic
bottom washer, flat washer, star washer, and hex
nut onto the threaded nipple. Hand tighten hex nut
until faucet feels snug.
E) After rechecking faucet orientation, tighten hex nut
(9/16" wrench or deep socket) until faucet feels secure.
NOTE: Flats on chrome faucet may be used for
tightening with an adjustable wrench. Use care not
to mar chrome finish.
III. Make Initial Tubing Connections (Fig. 2)
A) A proper length of orange 1/4" feed water tubing
should already have been connected to feed water
valve with a brass compression nut, insert and plastic
sleeve.
C) Connect proper length of blue 3/8" tubing to faucet
fitting (See "Push In" fitting instructions). Route tubing
through the floor to the vicinity of the purification
assembly location.
D) Route standard green 1/4" tubing from an appropri-
ate drain connection (e.g. laundry sink, floor drain,
stand pipe) to intended location of purification assem-
bly. An air gap must be installed between outlet and
drain connection.
IV. Install The Purification Assembly And
Storage Tank
The purification assembly is generally
mounted to the basement wall (using wall anchors)
or to wood ceiling supports. To mount the purifica-
tion assembly, keep bracket level and mark the
location of the mounting holes. Install wall anchors
and/or mounting screws as required. Leave screw
heads protruding to allow bracket mounting slots to
slide over them.
The tank may be oriented either vertically or
horizontally and can be placed on a shelf, on the
floor, or suspended from the ceiling supports using
sturdy brackets.
An effort should be made to minimize the
distance between the tank and purification assembly
to assure an adequate flow rate to the faucet.
V. Make Final Tubing Connections (Fig. 2)
A)
Connect 1/4" orange tubing from feedwater valve
to "Feed" connection on purification assembly.
B) Connect 3/8" blue tubing from faucet to the
"Faucet" connection on purification assembly.
