HOW A VENTED FAUCET WORKS Water from the blue supply tube (A) flows through the PRV valve (B) and into the faucet base (C). Water is then diverted into the red tube (D) and into the Hot Tank (E). The entering water displaces hot water in the tank causing it to flow freely through the clear “high temp” tube (F). Hot water continues straight through the faucet and exits the spout (G).
HOT TANK INSTALLATION 1. CHOOSE TANK LOCATION Find a location under your sink that has access to an electrical outlet and close enough to reach faucet tube leads without kinking. For the tank to operate properly, it cannot be installed beyond the reach of the factory tubing. WARNING! DO NOT PLUG IN THE HOT TANK UNTIL IT IS FILLED WITH WATER. HEATING THE TANK WHILE EMPTY WILL DAMAGE UNIT 2. 3. CABINET WALL 4.

This means the Hot Tank is full.
MY FAUCET DRIPS FROM THE SPOUT After hot water has been dispensed during normal usage, your tank immediately starts the reheating process which brings the water back up to the temperature you have selected with the temperature control dial. During this time, it is very normal for the faucet spout to drip for a few minutes while the water in the tank is reheating. What you are seeing is steam condensation collecting on the inside of the spout and again, this is very normal.
