2 – Marine Stainless Steel Hose Clamps

•The ET116-001 provides an IAPMO / UPC listed alternative to the use of the

drain saddle which is a prohibited fitting in the United States.

• To install the ET116-001 reverse osmosis reject water Drain Line Adapter,

follow these instructions.

Please read the instructions once through before starting.

CONFIGURATION – A

1. Disconnect the power supply to the

disposal by unplugging the cord under

the sink, or shutting off the circuit

breaker before starting work.

(Do this for configuration A & B)

2. Remove dishwasher drain hose from

disposal by unscrewing hose clamp, or

expanding spring clamp with pliers. Move

clamp away from disposal nipple, then

twist hose back and forth while pulling away

from disposal to separate. (See Fig. 1)

3. Universal barbs on the

ET116-001 will accommodate the

various dishwasher hoses

encountered. Determine which

size is required by sliding open

end of the hose over stepped

barbs until one fits snugly. If the

hose fits snugly over the middle

or largest barb, you must cut

away the smaller barb(s) with a

hacksaw. Use the grooved "cut

lines" provided, then smooth

away any burrs.(See Fig. 2a)

4. Scrape the inside of the

exposed disposal nipple with a

screwdriver to remove any build

up caused by dishwasher. (See

Fig. 2b)

5. Mount hose coupler (provided)

one inch over disposal nipple.

Then slip both new stainless steel

hose clamps (provided) loosely

over hose coupler. (See Fig. 2c)

6. Point arrows of ET116-001 toward disposal and slide barbs into

remaining one inch of the hose coupler until firmly seated against the

disposal nipple. Orient the "wye branch" in a vertical position to

receive RO drain tube. Tighten both hose clamps securely over hose

coupler so that the ET116-001 is solidly mounted on disposal.

(See Fig. 2d)

7. Lift the tail of adapter

slightly higher than horizontal,

and position semi-taut

hose behind it. Take a

measurement on the hose

against the selected barb.

(See Fig. 3)

8. Cut off excess hose squarely with sharp knife. Reuse original

spring or hose type clamp by sliding loosely over hose. (See Fig. 3)

9. Twist hose over selected barb, then

slide hose clamp down and tighten

securely.

(See Large Cover Illustration)

Note: Use tautness of dishwasher

hose to keep tail of adapter slightly

above horizontal... this is important

for proper drainage and a clog free

installation. If dishwasher hose

material cannot be easily shortened

or it is undesirable to do so, attach

uncut end of hose to adapter, then tie

up remaining slack with suitable

material.

10. Insert RO drain tube 1/4" into

Push in connector to complete

the installation (See Fig. 4), then

reconnect the power supply to disposal.

Problem: In some instances, the disposal may be oriented away

from the airgap faucet. Solution: redirect the ET116-001 using a ¾"

copper 45° or 90° elbow between the disposal and ET116-001 as

desired (requires an extra hose coupler and two hose clamps).
