Mount Auxiliary Faucet
Note: This faucet is designed to fit a 5/8" clearance hole
and should clear a 9/16" hole. Most standard sinks come
with 1-3/8" or 1-1/2" diameter water sprayer holes that
can be used to mount this faucet. If the pre-drilled holes
cannot be used or are not in the desired position, a new
hole must be drilled using either a 9/16" or 5/8" drill bit.
The faucet should be positioned securely on a flat
surface with adequate space for proper function.
If you need to drill a hole, go to (1). If you will be using
a pre-drilled hole, go to (5).
1. Line sink with newspaper or towel to prevent parts and
materials from falling down the drain.
2. To help prevent scratching the sink surface or countertop
should the drill bit slip, apply masking tape to the area
to be drilled.
STEP 1:
Install The Angle Stop Valve Adapter
Note: This adaptor is designed to fit ½" NPTF supply threads.
1. Locate the cold water shut-off valve under the sink.
Turn off the cold water supply.
2. Turn on the kitchen faucet. This will release pressure
and allow water to completely drain from the line.
STEP 2:
1. Select easily accessible area under
the sink to mount the filter system.
2. Mount system to a solid cabinet wall or wall.
If this is not an option, use toggle bolts or
hollow-wall anchor bolts (not included) to
secure the system to the surface.
3. Allow a minimum clearance of 4-6" below
the filter cartridges to allow ample space for
cartridge changes. The filter system must be
mounted in a vertical position.
STEP 3:
Install Plastic Tubing For Water Supply Line From
Angle Stop Valve Adapter To System Head Inlet
1. Determine the length of tubing necessary to
connect the system head inlet to the Angle Stop
Valve Adapter making sure to allow enough tubing
to prevent kinking in the line.
2. Check the tubing to be square on both ends
ensuring no jagged edges. If necessary, cut ends
of tubing to be square with no jagged edges, as
this can cause inappropriate seal of tubing in
collet inlet/outlet ports.
STEP 4:

3. Mark the drill hole using a center punch.
4. Make a pilot hole using the 1/4" drill bit. Use the 9/16"
or 5/8" drill bit to drill the final hole. Drill through
the sink or countertop completely and smooth rough
edges with a file.
5. Unscrew the faucet stem nut from the faucet stem, and
remove the metal lock washer. Slip the threaded
faucet stem into the sink or countertop hole ensuring
faucet sits flat on top of the sink or countertop.
6. Under the sink, slide the metal lock washer up the faucet
stem and secure with the faucet stem nut.
Tighten until slightly snug and check to ensure the faucet
spout is in the correct position. Using fingers,
tighten the nut to secure the faucet to the sink.
3. Disconnect the cold water faucet line from the ½"
threaded stem on the bottom of the kitchen faucet.
4. Holding the Angle Stop Valve Adapter in an
upright position, thread the female side of the
faucet adapter on to the cold water supply valve.
5. Attach the cold water supply line for the faucet
to the male - top side of the adapter.
4. After removing the cap from the manifold,
use the back panel as your mounting template
marking the holes for the mounting screws
on the wall surface.
5. Drill two pilot holes for the mounting screws using
a 1/8" drill bit. Insert mounting screws into the wall
with a Phillips screwdriver leaving approximately
3/8" of each mounting screw exposed.
6. Position the system head on the eyes of the
bracket and replace the system head cap.
3. Without bending or crimping the tubing, wet one
end of the tubing with water and push it into the Angle
Stop Valve Adapter approximately 5/8" until it stops.
4. Wet the other end of the tubing with water and push
it into the system head inlet on the left side of the
manifold approximately 5/8" until it stops.
5. The tubing does not have to be disconnected for
cartridge replacement or routine maintenance,
however, it may be easily disconnected if desired.
To disconnect, turn off the water supply to the filter
system and press the grey collar around the fitting
while pulling the tubing out with the other hand.

Install Plastic Tubing for Water Supply Line From System Head Outlet to Faucet
1. Determine the length of tubing necessary to connect the system head outlet to the threaded faucet stem
making sure to allow enough tubing to prevent kinking in the line.
2. Check the tubing to be square on both ends ensuring no jagged edges. If necessary, cut ends of tubing to
be square with no jagged edges, as this can cause inappropriate seal of tubing in collet inlet/outlet ports.
3. Without bending or crimping the tubing, wet one end of the tubing with water and push it into the system
head outlet until it stops.
4. Gently slide the compression nut down (thread side up) over the tubing. Making sure the ferrule is in the proper
position with the larger opening on the bottom (going into the nut), install ferrule over the tubing. Place the plastic
insert into the end of the tubing.
5. Firmly push the tubing into the end of the threaded faucet stem hand-tightening the plastic compression
nut onto the threads. Tighten approximately ½ turn with an adjustable wrench.

Twist-Lock Carbon Block Cartridges (TLR-A3502) Flushing And Installation Instructions
Prior to installing each TLR-A3502 cartridge in its position, we need to perform
a flushing step in order for the filter system to flush out any air and carbon fines
(fine black powder from each cartridge).
To Install A Cartridge:
1. Hold each cartridge with the front label facing a quarter turn to the left.
2. Lift each cartridge straight up into the system head until the two nozzles
seat into the ports and the two extended flanges on top of cartridge are
fully engaged into the system head. Turn the cartridge a quarter turn right
until it stops into the locked position.
To Flush The Cartridges:
1. Turn on the cold water shut-off valve under the sink.
2. Install TLR-A3502 cartridge 2 in Stage 2.
3. Install TLR-A3502 cartridge 1 in Stage 3.
4. Flush the TLR-A3502 cartridges for (5) minutes,
with Stage 1 empty, by running the new faucet for
filtered water. Flushing configuration shown on right.
5. Remove TLR-A3502 cartridge 1 from Stage 3
and install it in Stage 1.
6. Install Hollow Fiber Membrane cartridge
(TLR-A5HF12) in Stage 3. All labels should
be facing front when completed.

Full System Flush And Operational Test
1. Turn on the new faucet for filtered water. Allow the water to run for approximately 10 minutes.
2. Check for any leaks between the system head assembly and filters, on kitchen faucet adaptor connection,
around all fittings and on faucet/tubing connection.
If there are leaks between the system head assembly and the cartridge(s):
• Turn off the cold water shut-off valve to the filter system and turn on the faucet for filtered water to release
pressure and drain the water.
• Remove each cartridge and inspect the o-rings around the nozzles ensuring they are in place and free
from dirt and particles.
• Turn off the faucet for filtered water.
• Replace each cartridge as indicated in Step 6.
• Turn the cold water supply valve back on and turn on the faucet for filtered water.
If there are leaks around the fittings:
• To release pressure, turn off the cold water shut-off valve to the lter system.
• Press on the grey collar around the inlet and/or outlet tting while pulling the tubing
with one hand. Ensure the tubing is cut squarely and is not scratched. If the tubing is
unevenly cut or scratched, trim 1/2" to 5/8" and reinstall per Step 5.
• Turn the cold water shut-off valve back on and turn on the faucet for ltered water.
If there are leaks on the Angle Stop Valve Adapter connection:
• To release pressure, turn off the cold water shut-off valve to the filter system.
• Identify the Angle Stop Valve Adapter:
– If the tubing is leaking, follow “If there are leaks around the fittings” instructions above.
– If the thread between the Angle Stop Valve Adapter and the kitchen faucet stem is leaking, tighten further.
– If leaking continues, disconnect the tubing and remove the Angle Stop Valve Adapter. Wrap the Angle
Stop Valve Adapter and the threaded faucet stem with plumber’s tape and re-install (see Step 2).
– If the thread between the Angle Stop Valve Adapter and the cold water supply line is leaking, tighten
further. If leaking continues, disconnect the tubing and remove the kitchen faucet adaptor. Wrap the
Angle Stop Valve Adapter and the cold water supply line with plumber’s tape and re-install (see Step 2).
• Turn the cold water shut-off valve back on and turn on the faucet for filtered water.
