Guidelines for component placement are as follows:
Faucet should be placed near the sink where drinking/cooking water is normally
required. A 2" flat surface is required to mount the faucet if an existing hole for a
second faucet is not available.The thickness of the mounting surface should not
exceed 1-1/4" on the vertical or horizontal tailpiece. Refer to Figure 1.
Storage tank may be placed where it is convenient, within ten feet of the faucet.
Under the sink or in a nearby cabinet are excellent choices. If tank is located further
than ten feet from the faucet, use 1/2" tubing to reduce pressure drop. Full tanks may
weigh more than thirty pounds, so a sturdy shelf is required.
RO unit may be mounted on either side of the sink, in a cabinet or heated basement,
with nearby access to a potable, cold line and a drain.
NOTE: All components and tubing should be located in an area not exposed to
freezing temperatures or direct sunlight.

Feed water connection is accomplished with a feed water adaptor. Locate this assembly
as close to the R/O unit as possible. Connect to a potable, cold water supply line only.
NOTE: Softened water is preferred since it will extend the life of your R/O membrane.
Drain connection is accomplished using a waste water saddle valve which is designed to
fit around a standard 1-1/2" OD drain pipe. The drain saddle valve should always be
installed above (before) the drain trap and on the vertical or horizontal tailpiece. Refer to
Figure 2.
