to Hose Barbs. Route the tubing to the Drain
Clamp and trim to length.
•Refer to Fig. 4, page 9. Insert the tubing into
the Drain Clamp. Make sure the tubing is
pressed all the way in 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.
D. R.O. Manifold Assembly Installation
Locate the site per Sec. III, C.3, page 7. 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
accessible 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 clearance beneath the filter housings
to accommodate 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 ¼" 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 proper 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 3.)
Refer to Fig. 3, page 8. 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 ¼" 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 green
drain restrictor in it. Run the tubing along its
course to the ¼" 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
connected to the fitting labelled “Out” on the
manifold and insert the tubing. Run the tubing
along its course to the Dispensing Faucet and
trim to length. Push the tubing into the faucet
connector. 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
yellow plug from the fitting on top of the
manifold labelled “Tank” and insert the tubing.
(Refer to Fig. 1, page 3.)
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 3.)
3. Wrap Teflon tape around the ¼" 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.
4. Locate the 3/8" Yellow Tubing which is attached
to the elbow on top of the manifold and run
the tubing along its course to the tank and trim
to length. Insert the tubing into the Holding
Tank Shut–Off Valve fitting. Make sure the
tubing is pressed in all the way past the O–ring.
The fitting will grab the tubing and seal it in
place.
