pipe. Do NOT penetrate the opposite side of
the pipe.
3. Locate the

" Black Drain Tubing connected
to the Dispensing Faucet. Route the tubing to
the Drain Clamp and trim to length.
NOTE: When cutting the polytubing make
clean, square cuts, failing to do so could result
in poor connections and possible leaks.
CAUTION: The lowest point of the line
should be the point of connection to the Drain
Clamp. There should be no sag in the line as
this may cause excessive noise as the reject
water is owing to drain.
•RefertoFig.4.Insertthetubingintothe
Drain Clamp. Make sure the tubing is pressed
all the way in to create a pressure-tight
connection.
NOTE: If you want to pull the tubing out for
some reason, push the ring around the tubing
in and pull the tubing out.
D. R.O. Manifold Assembly Instructions
Locate the site per Sec. III, C.3. Various
installation sites will require different types of
mounting fasteners; be sure the fastener selected
will provide a rm, solid mounting. A support
panel may be necessary on thin cabinet walls or
to span between wall studs on particleboard or
drywall.
Do not drill through exterior cabinet walls or
leave sharp wood screw points exposed in readily
accessible cabinet interiors.
The close proximity of a dishwasher or a trash
compactor may require special fabrication of a
mounting plate.
1. The mounting bracket will accept either
#10 or #12 (5mm) mounting screws spaced
on 6" (15 cm) centers. Allow at least 4" (10
cm) of clearance beneath the lter housings
to accommodate lter changes. Mark the
two locations (the bracket can be used as a
template). Install the screws and tighten them
until the heads are about

2. Locate the ¼" Red Feed Water Tubing.
Remove the red plug from the tting labeled
“In” on the manifold and insert the tubing.
Reference the special supplement sheet in
the carton for proper connection of all tubing
and removal of plugs. Run the tubing along its
course to the Feed Water Saddle Valve, trim to
length. (Refer to Fig. 1.)
Refer to Fig. 3. To the end of the red polytube
install the Compression Nut, the Plastic
Ferrule, and the Insert. Connect to the Feed
Water Saddle Valve.
3. Locate the ¼" Black Drain Tubing connected
to the Dispensing Faucet. The end of the Black
Drain Tubing that should be inserted into the
“Drain” port on the manifold will have a drain
restrictor in it. Remove the black plug from
the tting labeled “Drain” on the manifold and
insert the tubing. Allow the tubing to relax,
then press rmly again to insure proper seating.
4. Locate the ¼" yellow tubing with the tee
attached to one end. Remove the yellow plug
from the tting labeled "Out" on the manifold
and insert the tubing.
5. Locate the

connected to the Dispensing Faucet. Firmly
press one end into the tee. The ttings will
grab the tubing and seal it in place. Make sure
the tubing is pressed all the way in to create a
pressure tight connection.
NOTE: If you want to pull the tubing out for
some reason, push the ring around the tubing
in and pull the tubing out.
6. Hang the Manifold Assembly on the
mounting screws and tighten. DO NOT
