Drill A Hole For The Reverse Osmosis Faucet; Using Quick-Connect Fittings - Watts H2O-DWRO300 Manuel D'installation, D'opération Et D'entretien

Drill a Hole for the Reverse
Osmosis Faucet
NOTICE
For Marble and granite Counter-tops, we recommend contacting
a qualified contractor for drilling a hole in a marble and granite
counter-top.
Note: Most sinks are predrilled with 1½" or 1¼" diameter hole that
you can use for your Drinking Water faucet. (If you are already using
it for a sprayer or soap dispenser, see Step 1).
NOTICE
Porcelain sinks are extremely hard and can crack or chip easily.
Use extreme caution when drilling. Watts accepts no responsibility
for damage resulting from the installation of faucet. Diamond tip
bit recommended.
Step 1
- Determine desired
location for the
faucet on your sink
and place a piece of
masking tape over
where the hole is to
be drilled. Mark the
center of the hole on
the tape.
Step 2
- Using a variable
speed drill set on
the slowest speed,
drill a 1/8" pilot
hole with the 1/8th
in diamond drill
bit through both
porcelain and metal
casing of sink at the
marked center of
the desired location.
Use lubricating oil or liquid soap to keep the drill bit
cool (If drill bit gets hot it may cause the porcelain to
crack or chip).
Step 3
- Using a 1 1/4" diamond tip hole saw, proceed to drill
the large hole. Keep drill speed on the slowest speed
and use lubricating oil or liquid soap to keep the hole
saw cool during cutting.
Step 4
- After drilling, remove all sharp edges and make
sure the surroundings of the sink are cooled before
mounting the faucet.
Or Punch a Hole for the Faucet in
a Stainless Steel Sink
NOTICE
If mounting faucet to a Stainless Steel Sink you will need a 1¼"
Hole Punch. 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 1
- Drill a 1 1/4" pilot
hole. Use a 1 1/4"
Hole Punch and an
adjustable wrench
to punch the hole in
the sink.
Step 2
- The Faucet can
now be installed

Using Quick-Connect Fittings

Cutting
Cut the tube square. It is
essential that the outside
diameter be free of score
marks, and that burrs and
sharp edges be removed
before inserting into fitting.
Connecting
Make certain to push
the tubing completely
into the connector until
it comes into contact
with the internal tubing
stop. The collet (gripper) has stainless steel teeth which hold
the tube firmly in position while the O-ring provides a permanent
leak proof seal.
Pull on the tube to check that it is secure. The system must be
tested prior to leaving the site and/or before use.
Disconnecting
To disconnect, ensure the
system is depressurized
before removing the tube.
Push in collet squarely
against the face of the fitting. With the collet held in this position,
the tube can be removed. The fitting can then be reused.
