Installation Instructions; Connecting To Cold Water Line; Drilling The Faucet Hole - PUR PUN3RO Manual Del Propietário

Installation Instructions:

Connecting to Cold Water Line (See Figure 1 and 2):
CAUTION: The water supply to your unit MUST be from the
COLD WATER LINE. Hot water will damage your filtration system.
1. Turn off the cold water supply by turning off the shut-off valve under the
sink. If the cold water line does not have a shut-off valve under the sink,
turn off the main water line in the house. Place a tray or towel under the cold
water line to catch any excess water.
2. Turn on the cold water faucet and allow all the water to drain from the line.
On a single handle faucet, the hot water may have to be turned off to prevent
any hot water cross over.
3. Loosen nut and separate cold water braided flex line from the kitchen cold
water faucet shank. Attach Inlet Valve to the faucet shank using the Rubber
Washer. Reinstall the flex line onto the Inlet Valve and tighten with an
adjustable wrench.
4. Insert 1/4" Red Tubing over the Guide Tube of the Inlet Valve. Tighten the
Compression Nut with an adjustable wrench.
Drilling the Faucet Hole (See Figure 3):
The Drinking Water Faucet should be positioned with function, convenience and
appearance in mind. An adequate flat area is required to allow the Faucet to rest
securely. Check the underside of the location for interference. Most sinks have
a pre-drilled 1-1/4" diameter hole designed for spray hoses. The Drinking Water
Faucet may be installed using this hole. If the pre-drilled hole cannot be used, or
is in an inconvenient location, it will be necessary to drill a 1-1/4" hole in the sink
or through the countertop next to the sink for the Faucet.
CAUTION: Do not drill through a countertop that is more than 1" thick.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to drill through a tiled, marble, granite or
similar countertop. Consult a plumber or the countertop manufacturer
for advice or assistance
CAUTION: When drilling through a countertop make sure the area
below the drilling area is free of wiring and piping. Make certain that
you have ample room to make the proper connection to the bottom of
the Faucet.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to drill through an all-porcelain or
porcelain-coated sink. For applications on these types of sinks we
recommend using the sprayer hole or mounting the Faucet through the
countertop. Otherwise consult a plumber or manufacturer for advice or
assistance.
1. Line the bottom of the sink with newspaper to prevent shavings, parts, or
tools from falling down the drain.
2. Place masking tape over the area to be drilled to help prevent scratches if
drill bit slips.
3. Mark point with a center punch. Use a 1/4" drill bit to drill a pilot hole.
4. Use a 1-1/4" hole saw to enlarge the hole. Smooth rough edges with a file.
