PREPARATION
1. Prepare for installation by removing all items from under the sink. Locate and turn off the COLD water supply and
open the sink faucet to relieve any remaining pressure.
2. Determine an appropriate location for the Drinking Water System, Bladder Tank, Feed Water Connection, Drain
Saddle, and the Air Gap or Non-Air Gap Faucet for your specific application.
3. Use two (2) self-tapping screws and a Phillips screwdriver. Measure the distance between the keyhole slots on the back
of the bracket and install screws.
NOTE: Be sure to leave enough space and tubing so that you can pull the system out for maintenance.
4. TOOLS RECOMMENDED FOR INSTALLATION:
ٶ Adjustable Wrench
ٶ Sharp Knife
ٶ Open End Wrench
ٶ Phillips Screw Driver
ٶ Needle Nose Pliers—Adjustable Pliers
ٶ Electric Drill
ٶ 7/8" or 1/2” Hole Saw Bit for Faucet Opening (depends on faucet used)
ٶ Round Knockout Punch for Stainless Sinks, 7/8" and 1/2"
DRILL HOLE FOR FAUCET IN A PORCELAIN SINK
NOTE: Porcelain sink material is extremely hard and can crack or chip quite easily. To avoid this, use extreme caution
when drilling. A carbide tipped masonry bit is recommended. SpectraPure

accepts no responsibility
for consequential damage resulting from the installation of the faucet.
When drilling, allow cool down time for drill bit so that it does not overheat and crack porcelain.
A gurgling sound may be heard coming from the Air Gap Faucet when the system is running.
This is normal and is in compliance with UPC Codes.
STEP 1. Determine a desired location for the faucet on your sink and place a piece of masking tape on the location
where the hole is to be drilled. Mark the center of the hole on the tape.
STEP 2. Use a variable speed drill on the slowest speed. Drill a 1/8” Pilot hole through both porcelain and metal casing
of sink at the center of the desired location. (If drill bit gets hot it may cause the porcelain to crack or chip)
STEP 3. Use a hole saw and proceed to drill the large hole (For AIR-GAP Faucet 7/8”. For NON AIR-GAP Faucet 1/2”).
Keep drill speed on the slowest speed and use lubricating oil or liquid soap to keep the hole saw cool
during cutting.
STEP 4. Make sure the surroundings of the sink are cooled before mounting the faucet to the sink after drilling. Remove
all sharp edges with a file.
PUNCH HOLE FOR FAUCET IN STAINLESS STEEL SINK
STEP 1. If mounting faucet to a Stainless Steel Sink you will need a bimetal or carbide tipped hole saw.
STEP 2. The Faucet opening should be centered between the back splash and the edge of the sink, ideally on the same
side as the vertical drain pipe.
STEP 3. Drill a 1/4” pilot hole. Use a bimetal or carbide tipped hole saw to punch the hole in the sink. (For AIR GAP
Faucet 7/8” For NON-AIR GAP Faucet 1/2”).
