3.0 INSTALLATION OF SINK-TOP FAUCET

The Faucet should be positioned to ensure a free flow pattern into the sink. It must also be in a location that allows ready access to the mounting hardware from

under the sink.

CAUTION: EXTREME CARE MUST BE TAKEN IN DRILLING THE HOLE FOR THE SINK-TOP FAUCET. THE SURFACE MATERIAL FOR MOST SINKS IS

EXTREMELY HARD AND BRITTLE AND CAN BE EASILY CHIPPED OR CRACKED. THIS UNIT’S MANUFACTURER/RESELLER ACCEPTS NO

RESPONSIBILITY FOR SINK TOP DAMAGE RESULTING FROM THIS INSTALLATION. SAFETY GLASSES MUST BE WORN WHEN OPERATING THE

DRILL.

1. Using the 6.4mm drill bit, drill a hole through the base metal. Operate the drill slowly and carefully, especially when the drill is about to penetrate the

metal. If necessary use a drop or two of oil in the hole. Go slowly otherwise damage to the sink may result.

2. Repeat step 1 using the 12mm drill bit.

3. Mount the faucet in the hole and using an adjustable wrench to hold the faucet, tighten

4.0 MOUNTING THE AX5-TW UNDER COUNTER

1. Mark screw locations at the desired positions. Use the two holes at the back of the Xsential AX5-TW UNDER COUNTER mounting bracket for marker

guides.

2. Screw the wood screws supplied with unit into marked positions.

3. Leave screw heads out a little.

4. Hang AX5-TW UNDER COUNTER system onto screws.

5.0 INSTALLATION OF COLD WATER SUPPLY CONNECTOR

TURN OFF THE MAIN COLD WATER SUPPLY BEFORE YOU START

The water supply connector that comes with the unit is made up of three parts; ½” pipe connector, a brass ball valve and pressure reduction valve. See Diagram 1

for connection details. Please contact your local plumber if you are having problems installing the cold water inlet.

WARNING: INADVERTENTLY CONNECTING THE UNIT TO HOT WATER WILL DESTROY THE MODULE AND VOID THE WARRANTY. THE FEEDING

WATER TEMPERATURE CANNOT EXCEED 40OC.

6.0 CONNECTING UP AX5-TW

Check the labeling detail on AX5-TW system before connecting up the system.

1. Connect the WATER IN tubing to brass ball valve, which is attached to the ½” pipe adapter. With the other end of the tubing, connect it to the pressure

valve followed by the first stage of the AX5-TW system. The first stage of the AX5-TW system is marked with “IN” from the left hand side of the system.

2. Connect the outlet “OUT” from the AX5-TW to the sink top faucet.

6.1 QUICK INSERT PUSH IN FITTING

Tube connection has never been easier than with Xsential quick connect fittings.

NOTE: Fittings and tube should be kept clean, bagged and undamaged before use.

Step 1 - Prepare the connection:

Cut the tube square ensuring it is free of score marks. We recommend the use of one of the tube cutter for a perfect cut. For soft or thin walled plastic tube we

recommend the use of a tube insert.

Do NOT use a hacksaw

NOTE: To avoid damage to the 'O' Ring, make sure

burrs and sharp edges are removed from the cut end of

the tube.

Do not insert fingers into the fitting as the

stainless steel teeth may cause injury.

With the fitting clean and undamaged and the tube cut square, you are now ready to make the connection.

Step 2 - Assemble the connection:

Push the tube into the fitting, until the tube stops. The collet (gripper) has stainless steel teeth which holds the tube

firmly in position whilst the 'O' Ring provides a permanent leak proof seal.

Pull on the tube to check it is secure. It is good practice to test the system prior to leaving site and/or before use. It is

recommended (and good practice dictates) that you remember to pressure test the completed installation before use.

Disconnecting standard push-in fittings:

Ensure system is depressurized before removing fittings. Push the collet in against the tube (center of the fitting). With

the collet held in this position the tube can be removed. The fitting can then be re-used.

7.0 START UP PROCEDURE

1. With everything connected, turn on the ball valve.

2. Open faucet.

3. Check for leaks. (If anything is leaking shut off water, repair, then start with step 1 again).

4. Within a few seconds the water will start to run.

5. Let the water run for 10 minutes. This flushes out any carbon fines.

6. The system is now ready to be used.

7. Check for leaks daily in the first week and periodically thereafter.
