For best results, Franke recommends
this faucet be installed by a licensed,
professional plumber. The installer
should familiarize themselves with how
this dispensing faucet will be installed
and function as part of a point-of-use
water dispensing arrangement 
the products are installed because there
are several installation options. Make
certain to observe all local plumbing and
building codes during the installation.

The  Series dispenser
oers hot water only. This dispenser
is required to be used in conjunction
with a Franke heating tank unit. Use of
a Franke ltration system in addition to
the heating tank is optional, but strongly
recommended in order to prolong the life
and improve the performance of the heat
tank, as well as providing much higher
quality water as compared to un-ltered
water entering the tank.
The  Series dispenser
oers hot and ltered water separately.
This dispenser must be used in
conjunction with both a Franke heating
unit and a Franke ltration system.
These models both utilize 3 tubes to
connect to the system.
– A 3/8“ poly-tube for the cold water
supply into the dispending faucet.
– A 1/4“ poly-tube to carry the ltered
water from the dispensing faucet to the
heating tank unit.
– An opaque high temperature silicone
tube to carry the heated water from the
heating tank back to the dispensing
faucet.

provides ltered drinking water as well
as the option of chilled drinking water.
This dispenser is required to be used
in conjunction with a Franke ltration

Franke chiller tank unit is required. This
model utilizes a 3/8“ poly-tube to supply
ltered water to the faucets.
Certies this faucet complies with ASME A112.18.1 / CSA B125.1, NSF/ANSI/CAN 61-2021:
Q<1, NSF 372. The faucet also complies with water usage requirements of the California
Energy Commission and the US Department of Energy.

 Franke strongly recommends
using only genuine Franke components
in tandem with all Franke dispensing
faucets. The function of the dispensing
faucets cannot be guaranteed if using
ltration products, heating tanks, or
accessories other than genuine Franke
components.

1. It is recommended to take the
components and locate their
optimum positions before starting the
installation.
2. Make sure there is adequate clearance
for the dispenser handle(s) to open fully
without interference.
3. Make sure all plumbing and electrical
connections will reach the intended
mounting positions for all the
components and there will be no
obstruction or sharp bends in the
plumbing.
4. Make sure the counter top is no thicker
than 2“.
 For subsequent steps, it will
be required to cut and route tubing to t
the specic application in your home. All
tubing must be cut squarely and free of
burrs. Ensure there is no damage within 1“
of the cut end.

push t connections, and using sealing
compounds could cause leaks.
All tubing connections must be routed to
avoid sharp bends and have enough slack
to avoid straining connections. Pull gently
on each connection to make sure they are
secure. See diagram below for details on
tubing installation and removal.
5. How to insert/remove tubing in push t
connections:
– Insert the Tube (1) squarely (g. 1A).
– Make sure to insert tubing completely
(g. 1B).
– To remove, push in Collet (2) and pull
out Tubing (1) (g. 1C).
6. Remove all contents from the package
and check for completeness.
7. Cut mounting hole 1-1/4“ in diameter
(32 mm) in the desired position (if one
isn‘t available).
8. Turn o water supply.
