Details on Tubing Connections:
To ensure a smooth and correct installation, please connect the water lines following the se-
quence and order outlined below. Refer to Fig. 11 & 11A for proper point locations.
1. Point Z Faucet connection:
Tubing color: Clear tubing. Connect the CLEAR tubing to the base of the RO faucet.
Fitting type:
See Fig. 10. Metal compression nut fitting. Use plastic sleeve.
Add “insert” to tubing. No teflon tape here. Tighten nut with wrench.
(DO NOT use metal sleeve on plastic tubing, will cause leakage! A metal sleeve is
provided for metal tubing usage. Apply teflon if using metal tubing and sleeve.)
2. Point X Feed water connection:
Tubing color: Red tubing. Connect the RED tubing to the Feed Water Needle Valve.
Fitting type:
See Fig. 5c. Metal compression nut fitting. Use plastic sleeve.
Add “insert” to tubing. No teflon tape here. Tighten nut with wrench.
Tips! If points Point Z or Point X leaks after you have tightened the brass nut, check to make
sure you did put the plastic “insert” into the tubing. If the insert is already in place, then
try applying Teflon tape from the threaded metal stud all the way to the plastic tubing,
wrap the whole connection with 8-10 rounds of Teflon tape. Smooth out the tape on the
threaded part with your fingers. Tighten brass nut again. This should stop the leak.
If the plastic sleeve is damaged, you can use the metal sleeve, but you need to apply
Teflon tape as described above, this should stop the leak.
3. Point W Waste water connection:
Tubing color: Black tubing. Connect the BLACK tubing from the RO to the Drain Saddle.
Fitting type: Quick-Connect fitting on drain saddle. No teflon tape.
Do Not add ”insert” into Black tubing. Simply push tubing into port.

Tubing color: Red tubing. Connect the RED tubing from the Feed Water Valve to the RO’s stage -1
prefilter.
Fitting type: Plastic compression nut fitting with built-in sleeve . No teflon tape needed here.
(Note: If stage-1 filter on your system is a UV light, then connect the Red tubing to the
UV light inlet)
