Installation - Product Water Faucet
Drilling the Faucet Hole
The product water faucet may be installed on any flat
surface at least 2” in diameter. Check the underside of
the location for interference.
Porcelain/Enamel Sinks
A 3/8” variable speed drill drill is recommended for this
procedure.
A spring loaded Relton style drill set is strongly
recommended to prevent chipping.
The plastic sleeve supplied on the pilot drill is to be
positioned on the drill bit against the drill chuck. This
prevents the chuck from contacting the porcelain after
the pilot hole has been completed.
Avoid high motor RPM during the initial cutting of the
porcelain as this can cause chipping.
Using a carbide tipped drill bit, drill a pilot hole completely
through the porcelain and the material underneath.
Place the spring loaded porcelain saw into the drill chuck.
Make sure the pilot guide is inserted tightly. Insert the
pilot guide into the pilot hole. Push down gently on the
drill motor to apply light pressure to the porcelain surface.
Start the drill motor turning as slowly as possible.
After the initial cut has started, motor speed may be
gradually increased. The cut may require three to four
minutes to complete. Going faster could result in excessive
chipping. This saw is used to cut the porcelain only.
Be sure a complete ring has been cut through the porcelain
to the metal underneath.
Place the finish hole saw into the drill chuck. Make sure
the pilot guide is inserted tightly. Insert the pilot guide
into the pilot hole. Begin cut using a slow speed and light
pressure until the metal has been penetrated.
Stainless Steel Sink
Make a small indent to mark the desired drilling location
using a center punch. Drill a pilot hole with a 1/8” metal
drill bit. Enlarge the hole using a 3/8” metal drill bit.
Tile Counter Top
Follow the procedures outlined in the Porcelain/Enamel
Sinks section.
Faucet Installation
Once the hole has been drilled in the sink, the faucet may
be located in the hole. Be sure the faucet body, faucet
base, and the rubber faucet base washer are in place
above the sink.
Install the star lock washer and nut, then tighten firmly
while aligned faucet in the desired direction.
Additional Point of Use Connection
NOTE: Icemakers typically use 1/4” tubing as the water
feed line. Use a reducing union fitting to make this
connection
To connect an additional point of use (icemaker, extra
faucet, etc.), place a ‘T’ connector in the 3/8” line between
the faucet and the RO system.
