Preparation and Installation
Connecting to the Waste Water Pipe
Refer to the diagram labelled "Fig 4" for visual guidance.
1. Locating the Drain Clamp:
Position the drain clamp either on a horizontal or vertical section of the pipe above the under-
sink waste trap. Mount it as low as possible to minimize drainage noise.
2. Drilling the Hole:
Drill a 1/4" hole on the front side of the pipe
as shown in Fig 4.
3. Applying the Sponge:
Remove the center piece from the black self-
adhesive sponge, then stick the sponge onto
the pipe around the hole you've drilled. Refer
to Fig 4 for positioning.
4. Assembling the Drain Clamp:
Loosely fit the two halves of the drain clamp
around the pipe using the provided nuts and
bolts.
Use a pen or pencil to align the hole in the
clamp with the hole in the waste pipe.
5. Securing the Drain Clamp:
Once aligned, tighten the bolts using a Phillips screwdriver, as depicted in Fig 4. Be cautious not
to overtighten the bolts.
6. Measuring and Cutting the Tubing:
Determine the length of tubing needed to connect the drain outlet of the RO unit to the drain
clamp.
Note: Ensure you measure enough tubing to allow for movement of the RO unit for filter
changes. Cut the tubing at right angles for a proper fit, as illustrated in Fig 5.
7. Connecting the Tubing:
Insert the tubing into the clamp, slide the locking nut up the tubing, then screw it into the clamp
and tighten securely.
