INSTALLATION Before You Begin The following instructions outline a typical water treatment system installation. Consult local plumbing codes and building regulations as they may pose different or additional requirements for the installation. The installer is responsible for ensuring that the installation is in compliance with all applicable state and local regulations. - Page 8 4' green 1/4" tubing 4' yellow 1/4" tubing The feed water connection assembly supplied with the Sierra system includes components which represent the most common under-sink plumbing connections currently in use within the United States. If these components do not match the type of connections installed at your location, contact a local hardware or plumbing supplier to obtain the correct fittings.
- Page 9 1. Locate and turn off the angle stop valve on the cold water line feeding the sink where the Sierra unit is to be installed. This valve will usually be located under the sink on the pipe coming out of the wall.
- Page 10 INSTALLATION Drain Connection Note: The drain saddle assembly must be installed before the 'P' trap. Do not install the drain saddle assembly be- tween the 'P' trap and the wall. Fig.3 1.

Install the 1/4” yellow drain tubing onto the 1/4” barb fitting. This tube must be of sufficient length to reach the yellow manifold drain connection.
- Page 13 INSTALLATION The Manifold Unit Determine the most practical under-the-sink location for placement of the Sierra manifold unit and the companion reservoir tank. Ensure that the specific location allows adequate access to the manifold unit for cartridge replacement and to the tank for tank- valve operation.
- Page 14 INSTALLATION Activation/Flushing System Activation and Inspection 1. Check all tubing connections to ensure they are firmly seated. CHECK TO SEE THAT THE CARTRIDGE RETAINER CLIPS ARE PROPERLY ENGAGED. The retainer clips must in place during long term, unattended operation of the system. Failure to keep the retaining clips in place could result in accidental leaks and flooding.
- Page 15 INSTALLATION Check List 1. Sierra unit and tank are located where they will not be subject to physical impacts or rough contact by heavy objects. 2. Feed water pressure to the unit is no less than 40 psi and no greater than 80 PSI.
- Page 16 Tank sanitizing should be done every twelve months as part of the regular system maintenance program through an authorized Sierra dealer. This procedure will take approximately 30 min- utes. As a safety precaution, always wear protective eyegear, mix chemicals in a well-ventilated area, and avoid breathing the fumes.
