4 — INSTALL RO FAUCET

You will need a sink top hole between 11/2" and 15/8" in diameter. If drilling a new hole, ensure

faucet body will mount flat against surface and that there is sufficient tubing between faucet

body and system manifold. NOTE: Drilling holes into solid surfaces or surfaces made of stone

should only be performed by a qualified and certified installer.

1 Attach remaining 3/ 8 " white tubing to stem on faucet body by wetting tubing end and

inserting into faucet stem fitting approximately 5/ 8 " until it stops. Gently tug on the tubing

to ensure it is firmly seated in fitting.

NOTE: Do not connect 3/8" white tubing from tank to faucet.

2 Mount faucet base by pushing toggle bolts through the sink hole until faucet base is flush

with countertop. Position toggle bolts under sink surface being certain faucet stem will

not be obstructed. Loosely fasten faucet base to countertop by tightening toggle bolts,

alternating between left and right sides to evenly tighten. Leave loose to adjust faucet

body as desired.

3 Route the 3 tubes attached to faucet body through the faucet base and through hole in sink

until approximately 12" of tubing remains above sink.

4 Turn 1/4 clockwise and holding faucet base firmly, mount faucet body to faucet base. Adjust

faucet body handle to desired location.

5 To tighten faucet, hold base firmly to keep it from moving while turning faucet body 1/4 turn

counterclockwise. Tighten toggle bolts evenly, making sure not to over tighten.

6 Mount faucet body to faucet base; turn 1/4 turn clockwise until it locks.

7 Attach faucet spout to faucet body by screwing spout nut to body.
