INSTALL THE FAUCET (Cont.)
1. If drilling is needed, drill a 1-3/8" diameter hole
in the mounting surface. Be sure to use the
proper procedure for drilling stone, porcelain or
stainless steel. Special drill bits may be
needed. Consult a qualified plumber.
2. Unscrew the plastic wing nut from the RO
faucet’s threaded stud. Slide this wing nut and
the adjacent metal washer off the tubing ends
and set them aside to reinstall in step 4, below.
NOTE: Be sure the black rubber gasket and metal
base ring remain in place on the faucet
stud.
3. Work tubing and the faucet stud down into the
mounting hole. Be sure that the faucet body
seats squarely into the base ring, and that the
black rubber gasket sits flat against the sink or
countertop.
4. On the underside of the sink or countertop, slide
the metal washer and wing nut (removed in step
2) back over the tubing ends and onto the stud.
With the washer in place between the
countertop and wing nut, tighten the wing nut
securely.
STORAGE TANK INSTALLATION
1. Apply thread sealing tape (2 wraps clockwise) to
the threads on the nipple at the top of the tank.
2. Locate the included tank connector. Slowly
tighten the tank connector onto the tank nipple
7-8 full turns, so as not to cross thread or
overtighten.
3. Do not connect the tube at this time. This will
occur later in the assembly.
4. Place the storage tank next to the Reverse
Osmosis assembly. The tank can be placed
upright or on its side.

STORAGE TANK AND FAUCET
INSTALL THE FAUCET
Select the location of the Reverse Osmosis
product water faucet. Be sure there is room
underneath and above the sink to make the
needed connections. Options are:
• Use an existing sink top hole for the spray hose
or soap dispenser (Must be between 1-1/4” and
1-1/2” in diameter)
• Drill a new hole in the sink top
• Drill a new hole in the countertop next to the sink
NOTE: Check to ensure the Reverse Osmosis
faucet will mount flat against the mounting
surface.
NOTE: Visually review the routing of the tubes
from the Reverse Osmosis assembly to the
faucet. Check to ensure there is adequate
tube routing space between the faucet and
Reverse Osmosis assembly.
