[. . . ] Choose one and install it by removing the screw and slipping the handle into place (see figure 11). You are now ready to install the faucet into the base assembly that is mounted on the sink. First guide the tubing into the center of the base assembly and feed them through until the faucet reaches the base. Decide if you want the handle to be on the left or right side. Hold the base securely with your free hand and insert the faucet into the base and turn it clockwise 1/4 turn. Once the faucet is securely attached to the base the installation of the faucet is complete. Next step is to attach the tubing to the RO system and the drain connection according to the normal installation instructions for the RO system. 16 Culligan® Aqua-Cleer® Drinking Water Systems Changing Handle Orientation 1. Listed below is the procedure to change the handle orientation (refer to figure 11): Remove the handle cap and unscrew the handle screw. Unscrew the handle cartridge nut. Remove the handle cartridge and rotate it 180° making sure the notches on the cartridge line-up with the notches on the faucet housing. Reverse the procedure for reassembly. Cleaning the Faucet Wipe the faucet with a soft cloth, avoid abrasive cleansers. Provide Inlet Water Supply A wide variety of plumbing circumstances and choices exist to provide the feed water supply. The first connection in the system is at the prefilter where a 1/4-inch connection is supplied. The supply water plumbing should therefore terminate in a 1/4-inch tube fitting. Copper tubing or galvanized iron pipe is the typical plumbing used in most homes. Piercing Valve A special piercing valve (Figure 12), is available which makes its own hole as it is tightened down. Note: Check with local plumbing codes to verify that piercing valve is allowed. Figure 12 Installation 17 Connecting Aqua-Cleer® System Drains Plumbing codes require that the drain from reverse osmosis drinking water systems be discharged through an air gap siphon break. The Aqua-Cleer faucet incorporates an air gap into its body. The discharge from the air gap must be connected to the plumbing system for proper drainage. This connection can usually be made beneath the sink. Incorrect installation may result in overflow of the air gap or excessive noise. If the concentrate water is discharged to an open drain, the air gap may not be necessary. The air gap feature of the Culligan® faucet requires standard 3/8" tubing. Connections to undersink plumbing can be made with a saddle clamp designed to accept the drain tubing from the faucet. Culligan offers a saddle kit, PN 01-0003-29, designed for 1-1/2" undersink drain plumbing (Figure 13). [. . . ] Replace polishing filter Replace capillary tube; replace prefilter, if necessary.
