B. Assemble Faucet
The tubing and fasteners are assembled to the faucet before the faucet is placed
in position. This can be done above the sink.
1. Slide the decorative ring over the tubing connections and up to the bottom of
the faucet.
2. Slide the gasket over the tubing connections and up to the bottom of the
faucet.
3. Slide the standoff onto the threaded tube, followed by the standard washer
and nut.
4. Screw the threaded hose connector on the end of the threaded tube.
5. Connect the blue 3/8-inch product tubing by firmly pushing it into the
connector.
6. If using the air gap module, push the black 3/8-inch tubing onto the small
hose barb. The red 1/2-inch tubing is pushed onto the large hose barb.
7. Put the faucet into position.
8. The horseshoe clip is positioned around the threaded pipe under the sink and
above the standoff. This clip should engage the tubing connected to the air
gap, if used.
9. Tighten the nut against the clip to hold the faucet in position.

STEP 4: MAKE TUBING CONNECTIONS

The connections to the faucet should be complete, the remaining connections
are:
• Feed connection―clear tubing from feed valve to white elbow connector
• Drain connection―either red tubing from the air gap or black tubing from
grey elbow connector will attach to the drain adapter
• Permeate connection―blue tubing from faucet to blue elbow connection
• To the flush tank (if used)
• Attach the fittings to the manifold
A typical connection is shown in Figure 5.
