SELECT LOCATION OF REVERSE OSMOSIS
FAUCET MOUNTING HOLE
You will need to select the location of the Reverse Osmosis
Faucet. You have three options to choose from:
• Use an existing sink top hole (Must be 1.27 cm in diameter)
• Drill a new hole in the sink
• Drill a new hole in the countertop next to the sink
1. Determine where you are going to install your Reverse
Osmosis Faucet.
2. Check to ensure the Reverse Osmosis faucet will mount flat
against the mounting surface.
3. Visually review the routing of the tubes from the Reverse
Osmosis filter assembly to the faucet. Check to ensure there
is adequate tube routing space between the faucet and filter
assembly.
4. If drilling is needed, drill a 1.27 cm diameter hole in the
mounting surface.
IMPORTANT: Drilling holes into countertops and sinks
should only be performed by an installer who is qualified
for drilling such materials. Drilling of surfaces made of
stone or solid surface materials such as granite, marble,
Corian™ or other plastic resin products or sinks made
of porcelain or stainless steel may cause permanent,
irreparable damage to the sink or countertop surface.

3. Feed the threaded stud down through the sink hole until the
