Choose a Location; See Figure 1.
1. Position the filter housing bracket on the wall of the cabinet
nearest the cold water line beneath the sink. Leave a 3" mini-
mum clearance between the bottom of the filter housing and
the floor of the cabinet. Mark the bracket slots on the wall.
2. Drill a 1/8" hole at each of the two marks, install the drywall
screw anchors (available locally) and insert the mounting screws.
Leave each screw head 1/4" out from the wall.

convenient location or use the existing sprayer hole. Mark the
hole location with a punch before drilling.

faucet location, then mark the position with a punch before
drilling. NOTE: A special drill is required for porcelain sinks.

ber washer onto the threaded stem and insert the faucet stem
and rubber washer assembly into the sink hole.
