Drill hole and Connect 3/8” Black Tube from Faucet to the Drain Saddle
Measure the 3/8” black tube from faucet to the drain saddle on the
drain pipe and make a straight cut to the correct length.
Slip black tube through black compression nut. Insert black tube
into the opening in the drain saddle and hand tighten the black nut,
and add 1/4 turn with a wrench.
The black 3/8” drain tube must be as SHORT and STRAIGHT as possible to the drain
saddle, making a downward slope from faucet to drain saddle to allow for proper
drainage. This is a gravity fed line and if there is any bend or dip in the tube, the rinse
water will not flow into the drain properly. Water may back up and come out the air
gap hole in the back of the faucet.

IMPORTANT:
Step 16
Reverse Osmosis Module Mounting
Step 19
Determine best location for the RO module to be mounted to allow
for future system maintenance. The parts bag has 2 self tapping
screws. Using an electric drill with a Phillips bit, screw them into
the cabinet wall 6” apart and 16” from the bottom of the cabinet.
Do not cut any RO system tubes at this time
Note:
With the drain saddle secured onto the drain pipe, using a 1/4”
drill bit installed in your electric drill, insert the drill bit through the
opening in the drain saddle and drill through the drain pipe.
Step 15
Caution: It is very important to keep the drill centered to prevent
damage of the drain saddle while drilling.
Green Tube Connection
Step 18
Locate green tube attached to the RO Module. Insert the open end of the green 1/4” tube
into the open 1/4” quick connect fitting on the plastic water feed valve making sure the tube
is pushed in all the way to the tube stop.
Thread the plastic elbow (supplied in the parts bag) onto the stainless
steel connection on the top of tank. Tighten using an adjustable
wrench. Do not over tighten as plastic could crack.
Step 20
Step 21
Wrap (7 to 12 turns) of Teflon tape clockwise around the male pipe
threads (MPT) on the Stainless Steel fitting on top of the tank.
Tank Elbow Installation
Do not let the tape cover the opening.
