1. Unpack and unwrap contents.
• Open Relief Faucet
• Mounting Bracket
• Screws and Anchors
• 3/8” x ¼” Brass “T”
2. Mount the faucet. (Figure A)
3. Mount the filter. (Figure B)
Note: make sure that the location of the
lter unit allows the tubing from the faucet
to connect to the base of the lter without
kinking or side pressure; if the hose is not
able to plug straight into the inlet without
side pressure, it may drip.
4. Connect water supply. (Figure A)
Turn o your cold water supply valve and at-
tach the “T” tting to the cold water supply.
5. Once the lter and faucet are mounted and
the “T” tting is attached to the cold water
supply line, proceed with the following steps:
• Connect the hoses. (Figure A)
• Turn the cold water supply line on; this
will open the supply to the faucet.
• Check for leaks. If leaks are present, turn
o the supply valve and check all con-
nections.
• Turn handle clockwise and allow the
water to run until all cloudiness and air
bubbles are gone.

Precautions and important information:
Stop. Did you pick a location for the faucet mount?
• Determine the appropriate location for the faucet to be mounted
• The faucet may be mounted using an existing hole for a sprayer nozzle, or by
drilling a 7/8” hole in the sink or countertop
• Note: we do not recommend drilling granite or porcelain sinks unless done by
a professional. Be sure the location of the faucet allows the spout to extend
slightly past the edge of the sink as all faucets have a 4” overhang

PLEASE NOTE:
For the rst 72 hours this faucet will drip intermittently, until the lters
become fully saturated. Once they are saturated you should anticipate a
residual ow of water each time you use the lter, as the system is vented
and designed to clear the line.
IMPORTANT:
The aquasana AQ-4501 can only be used with a faucet supplied by Aquasana.
Any other faucet may cause damage to the lter system and/or leakage.
This unit can NOT be used in constant pressure applications,
such as ice-makers or fountains.

• Read all instructions carefully
