RO Manifold Assembly Instructions
Locate the site per page 6. Various installation sites will require different types of mounting fasteners; be sure the
fastener selected will provide a firm, solid mounting. A support panel may be necessary on thin cabinet walls or to
span between wall studs on particle board or drywall.
Do not drill through exterior cabinet walls or leave sharp wood screw points exposed in readily accessible cabinet
interiors.
The close proximity of a dishwasher or a trash compactor may require special fabrication of a mounting plate.
1.
The mounting bracket will accept either #10 or #12 (5mm) mounting screws spaced on 6" (15 cm) centers.
Allow at least 4" (10 cm) of clearance beneath the filter housings to accommodate filter changes. Mark the two
locations (the bracket can be used as a template). Install the screws and tighten them until the heads are about 5/8"
from the wall.
2.
Locate the ¼" Red Feed Water Tubing. Remove the red plug from the fitting labelled "In" on the manifold and
insert the tubing. Reference the special supplement sheet in the carton for proper connection of all tubing and removal
of plugs. Run the tubing along its course to the Feed Water Saddle Valve, trim to length. (Refer to Fig. 1, page 5.)
Refer to Fig. 3, page 8. To the end of the red polytube install the Compression Nut, the Plastic Ferrule, and the Insert.
Connect to the Feed Water Saddle Valve.
3.
Locate the ¼" Black Drain Tubing. Remove the black plug from the fitting labelled "Drain" on the manifold and
insert the tubing. The end of the Black Drain Tubing that should be inserted into the "Drain" port will have a yellow
drain restrictor in it. Run the tubing along its course to the ¼" Hose Barb on the Dispensing Faucet, trim to length and
connect by firmly pressing over the barb. Allow the tubing to relax, then press firmly again to insure proper seating.
4.
Locate the ¼" yellow tubing with the tee attached to one end. Remove the yellow plug from the fitting labelled
"Out" on the manifold and insert the tubing.
Locate the 3/8" Blue Product Water Tubing. Firmly press one end into the tee and the other end into the faucet

connector. (Refer to Fig.1, page 5.) The fittings will grab the tubing and seal it in place. Make sure the tubing is
pressed all the way in to create a pressure tight connection.
NOTE: If you want to pull the tubing out for some reason, push the ring around the tubing in and pull the tubing out.
6.
Hang the Manifold Assembly on the mounting screws and tighten.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
7.
Remove the wrap ping from the In–Line Activated Carbon Post Filter. Slice the 3/8" Blue Polytube where it would
be convenient to install and change the In–Line Filter. Make a clean straight cut to insure proper connections. The
"Out" port on the In–Line Filter should be toward the faucet. Firmly press in the tubing. The fittings will grab the tubing
and seal it in place. Make sure the tubing is pressed all the way in to create a pressure tight connection.
E.
Position the Drinking Water Holding Tank and Make the Final Hose Connections.
1.
Check the tank precharge pressure. Make sure it is between 5 to 7 psig. If not, use a bicycle hand pump or
other pump to bring the pressure up to the 5 to 7 psig range.
Pull the cap/plug off the top of the tank where the Tank Shut–Off should go. (Refer to Fig. 1, page 5.)
2.
Wrap the white teflon tape, included in the box, three times around the ¼" male outlet thread. Wrap in the
3.
direction of the threads (clockwise when looking down on the Holding Tank). The tape will act as a thread sealant.
Screw on the Holding Tank Shut–Off Valve.
4.
Locate the 3/8" Yellow Tubing. Firmly press one end into the Holding Tank Shut–Off Valve and the other end
into the tee. (Refer to Fig.1, page 5.) The fittings will grab the tubing and seal it in place. Make sure the tubing is
pressed all the way in to create a pressure tight connection.
