Faucet Installation. See Figure 1.
1. Turn off the cold water supply valve.
2. If necessary, drill (or punch) a 1-1/8" hole in the sink top.
3. Remove the nut and spacer from the RO faucet and feed the two
lengths of black tubing (attached to the faucet stem) down
through the hole in the sink top until the faucet is seated on the
sink top. The vertical ridge on the faucet handle should be facing
toward the user.
4. Reach below the sink top and slide the channel washer up the
faucet stem. Install the spacer tube (if needed) and tighten the
stem nut (cone shaped side up) on the channel washer. Tighten
the stem nut just enough to keep the faucet securely in place; do
not overtighten.
NOTICE: Be sure that the channel in the channel washer faces up
and that it completely bridges the hole in the sink top (that is, it
should be tightening against both sides of the hole).
NOTICE: For Model RO2000-TDS, make sure that the grey cable
coming from the faucet base is lying inside the channel washer,
and that the edges of the channel washer don't pinch the cable.
