4. Feed Water Connection – The Feed
Water Ball Valve should be located as
close to the manifold assembly as
possible. USE A POTABLE COLD WATER
SUPPLY ONLY. Softened water is
preferred as it will extend the life of the
Reverse Osmosis Membrane.
5. Drain Connection – The waste water must
go to a drain connection with easy access.
Do NOT connect the system drain line to
the dishwasher drain or near the garbage
disposal.
2b. Drilling a porcelain sink:
It is best to use a special 1¼" diameter cutter
designed for porcelain. A carbide tipped
masonry bit is a second choice.
• Place a piece of tape over the area to be
drilled to help prevent chipping.
• Drill a pilot hole for the porcelain cutter. Use
the pilot drill supplied with the kit or a carbide
tipped drill.
• When drilling the 1¼" hole, drill slowly and
carefully; the porcelain chips easily.
• After drilling, clean the area well. Iron fillings,
if left in place, can cause rust stains.
INSTALLATION STEPS
All plumbing should be done in accordance
with state and local plumbing codes.
In restricted under-sink areas, it may be easier
to install the faucet first. Allow adequate
tubing lengths for any final component
position.
A. Faucet Installation
2a. Drilling a stainless steel sink:
• Center punch the hole to provide a
starting point for the drill.
• Start with a smaller drill as a pilot, and
then drill a ½" diameter hole to accept
the bolt of a 1¼ " Greenlee Hole Punch
(1¼" chassis punch).
• Clean away any chips.
• Install the punch and tighten the nut to
cut the hole.
• Deburr any sharp edges.
2c. Drilling a counter top:
NOTE: The counter top must be less than 1¼"
thick. Treat ceramic tiles as porcelain until the
tile is penetrated, then use the carbide tipped
metal cutter.
Formica counter tops may be drilled with a good
1 ¼" wood bit, drilling a 3/32" pilot hole will help
keep the bit going straight.
