The following instructions are for installing the UCS3 system under the sink. It can also be installed on any other wall
mounted remote location (such as basement or crawl space) from where tubing can be run to the faucet. The unit should
not be installed more than fifteen feet away from the faucet. Call Rainfresh if you have questions.
Step 1: Mounting the Faucet
Faucet may be installed in hole in sink if available or in counter
top. Note: The faucet may also be installed in the sink sprayer
hole if available.
1. Position faucet on counter top beside sink in desired
position. Ensure that swivel spout will extend over sink
and that there is room under the counter for faucet
shank and to tighten nuts.
2. Mark the location and drill a ½" hole (Fig. 2). Protect
your counter top by applying a layer of masking tape
and use a sharp drill.
3. Insert faucet shank through escutcheon washer (1050-
10), and then through counter top (See Fig. 3). Install
plastic locating washer (1050-12), lock washer (1050-
13) and locking nut (1050-14). Tighten locking nut
securely while someone holds the faucet body so it does not turn. Place
adaptor washer (1040-16) inside 3/8" adapter (1040-15) and tighten adaptor securely on to the faucet shank with
a wrench. Note: Do not use any thread sealant or tape on the faucet shank.
Step 2: Mounting the Unit
1. Locate best position for mounting unit undersink near faucet. Mark
mounting bracket screw locations using mounting bracket (2570) as a
template (Fig. 4). NOTE: LEAVE MINIMUM OF 18 INCHES CLEARANCE
BELOW SUMPS from the top edge of the bracket to the cabinet floor.
