4. INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING
4.1 Schematic Diagram: 3. Selecting the Filter's Faucet Location.
4. Drill hole for filter faucet installation
The drinking water faucet should be positioned with function,
convenience, and appearance in mind. An adequate flat area is
required to allow faucet base to rest securely. The faucet fits
through a 1/4" hole. Most sinks have pre-drilled 1-3⁄8" or 1-1⁄2"
diameter holes that may be used for faucet installation. If these
predrilled holes cannot be used or are in an inconvenient location,
it will be necessary to drill a 1/4" hole in the sink to accommodate
the faucet.
NOTE:
A. Line bottom of sink with newspaper to prevent metal
shavings, parts, or tools from falling down the drain.
B. Place masking tape over the area to be drilled to
prevent scratches if drill bit slips.
C. Mark hole with center punch. Use a 1/4" drill bit to drill
pilot hole.
D. Use a 3/4" drill bit and drill a hole completely through
sink.
E. Smooth rough edges with a file.

Make certain you have ample room to make the proper
connections to the bottom of the faucet.
Do not attempt to drill through a tiled, marble, granite
or similar countertop. Consult a plumber or the
countertop manufacturer for advice or assistance.
DO NOT ATTEMPT CAUTION TO DRILL THROUGH AN
ALL-PORCELAIN SINK. If you have an all-porcelain
sink, mount the faucet in pre-drilled sprayer hole or
drill through countertop next to sink.
