Installation Instructions:
Tapping into Cold Water Line (See Figure 3):
CAUTION: The water supply to your unit MUST be from the
COLD WATER LINE. Hot water will severely damage your
filtration system.
1. Turn off cold water supply by turning off the shut off
valve under the sink. If the cold water line doesn’t have
a shut off valve under the sink, turn off the main water
line in the house. Place a tray or towel under cold water
line to catch excess water.
2. Turn on the cold water faucet and allow all the water to
drain from the line. On a single handle faucet, the hot
water may have to be turned off to prevent any hot
water cross over.
3. Loosen nut and separate cold water braided flex line
from the kitchen cold water faucet shank. Attach Inlet
Valve (G) to the shank using Rubber Washer (F) supplied
in the kit. Reinstall the flex line onto the inlet valve and
tighten with adjustable wrench. Use Teflon tape on all
threaded connection points.
Drilling the Faucet Hole (See Figure 4):
The drinking water faucet should be positioned with function, convenience and appearance
in mind. An adequate flat area is required to allow faucet to rest securely. Check the
underside of the location for interference. Most sinks have a pre-drilled 1¼” or 1½” diameter
holes designed for spray hoses. The drinking water faucet may be installed using one of these
holes, despite their larger size. If the pre-drilled holes cannot be used, or are in an inconvenient
location, it will be necessary to drill a minimum ½” hole in the sink or through the countertop
next to the sink or the faucet.
CAUTION: Do not drill through a counter top that is more than 1” thick.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to drill through a tiled, marble, granite or similar countertop. Consult
a plumber or the countertop manufacturer for advice or assistance.
CAUTION: When drilling through a countertop make sure the area below the drilled area is
free of the wiring and piping. Make certain that you have ample room to make the
proper connection to the bottom of the faucet.
1. Line the bottom of the sink with newspaper to prevent shavings,
parts, or tools from falling down the drain.
2. Place masking tape over the area to be drilled to help prevent
scratches if drill bit slips.
3. Mark point with a center punch. Use a ½” or ⁄” drill bit to drill a
hole.
4. Smooth rough edges with a file.
