Air-Gap Faucet Installation - SpectraPure 4-Stage Compact DWS-CLS-3 Operation Manual

SpectraPure
1. Drill hole for air-gap faucet:
a. Determine the desired location to drill a 7/8" inch hole for the air gap faucet. Make certain ample
clearance exists and there are no obstructions in the form of reinforcement ribs, mounting hardware,
brackets, etc., that block or restrict access to the bottom of the faucet.
b. Once the hole location has been determined, use a small punch and indent a start position to
prevent the drill bit from wandering. Before drilling any holes, be certain to wear eye protection in the form
of safety glasses. Choose the appropiate drill bit for the type of sink on which the faucet will be mounted.
Note: For porcelain, a carbide tipped masonary bit is recommended. On stainless steel sinks, use a bimetal or
carbide tipped hole saw.
For any drilling operation, ensure the bits are sharp, and an adequately sized drill motor is used.
Note: If you are uncomfortable with this part of the installation, seek assistance from a plumber or other
qualified trade professional.
2. Air gap faucet assembly & installation:
a. Place the chrome flange and rubber washer over the threaded shaft and barbed nipples on
the faucet (Refer to Figure 5).
b. Get under the sink and place the flat metal washer (with "U" shaped cutout), plastic spacer, flat
washer, and hex nut in sequence over the threaded shaft of the non air gap faucet. Position the
air gap faucet for desired use and securely tighten the hex nut.
3. Screw 3/8" plastic adapter on the threaded shaft of the air gap faucet and tighten securely by hand.
