NOTE:
The lowest point of the line should be
the point of connection to the Drain Clamp.
There should be no sag in the line as this may
cause excessive noise as the reject water is
flowing to drain.
Firmly press one end of the tubing over the
3/8" drain outlet hose barb on the Air Gap
Faucet. Allow the tubing to relax, then press
firmly again to insure proper seating. No con-
nectors are required when attaching hose to
Hose Barbs. Route the tubing to the Drain
Clamp and trim to length.
• Refer to Fig. 4, page 7. To connect the Drain
Tubing, install the Compression Nut and the
Brass Insert.
• Insert the tubing into the Drain Clamp and
tighten the Compression Nut.
D. R.O. Manifold Assembly Installation
Locate the site per Sec. III, C.3, page 5. Various
installation sites will require different types of
mounting fasteners; be sure the fastener selected
will provide a firm, solid mounting. A support panel
may be necessary on thin cabinet walls or to span
between wall studs on particle board or drywall.
Do not drill through exterior cabinet walls or leave
sharp wood screw points exposed in readily acces-
sible cabinet interiors.
The close proximity of a dishwasher or a trash
compactor may require special fabrication of a
mounting plate.
1. The mounting bracket will accept either #10 or
#12 (5 mm) mounting screws spaced on 6" (15
cm) centers. Allow at least 4" (10 cm) of clear-
ance beneath the filter housings to accommo-
date filter changes. Mark the two locations (the
bracket can be used as a template). Install the
screws and tighten them until the heads are
about 5/8" from the wall.
2. Locate the " Red Feed Water Tubing. Remove
the red plug from the fitting labelled “In” on the
manifold and insert the tubing. Reference the
special supplement sheet in the carton for prop-
er connection of all tubing and removal of plugs.
Run the tubing along its course to the Feed
Water Saddle Valve, trim to length. (Refer to
Fig. 1, page 1.)
Refer to Fig. 3, page 6. To the end of the red
polytube install the Compression Nut, the
Plastic Ferrule, and the Insert. Connect to the
Feed Water Saddle Valve.
3. Locate the " Black Drain Tubing. Remove the
black plug from the fitting labelled “Drain” on the
manifold and insert the tubing. The end of the
Black Drain Tubing that should be inserted into
the “Drain” port will have a yellow drain restric-
tor in it. Run the tubing along its course to the
" Hose Barb on the Dispensing Faucet, trim to
length and connect by firmly pressing over the
barb. Allow the tubing to relax, then press firmly
again to insure proper seating.
4. Locate the 3/8" Blue Product Water Tubing.
Remove the blue plug from the the elbow con-
nected to the fitting labelled “Out” on the mani-
fold and insert the tubing. Run the tubing along
its course to the Dispensing Faucet and trim to
length. Push the tubing into the faucet connec-
tor. The fitting will grab the tubing and seal it in
place. Make sure the tubing is pressed all the
way in past the O–ring to create a pressure
tight connection.
NOTE:
If you want to pull the tubing out for
some reason, push the ring around the tubing in
and pull the tubing out.
5. Locate the 3/8" Yellow Tubing. Remove the yel-
low plug from the fitting on top of the manifold
labelled “Tank” and insert the tubing. (Refer to
Fig. 1, page 1.)
6. Hang the Manifold Assembly on the mounting
screws and tighten. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
E. Position the Drinking Water Holding
Tank and Make the Final Hose
Connections.
1. Check the tank precharge pressure. Make sure
it is between 5 to 7 psig. If not, use a bicycle
hand pump or other pump to bring the pressure
up to the 5 to 7 psig range.
2. Pull the cap/plug off the top of the tank where
the Tank Shut–Off should go. (Refer to Fig. 1,
page 1.)
3. Wrap the white teflon tape, included in the box,
three times around the " male outlet thread.
Wrap in the direction of the threads (clockwise,
when looking down on the Holding Tank). The
tape will act as a thread sealant. Screw on the
Holding Tank Shut–Off Valve.
