INSTALL A REMOTE DRAIN POINT AND AIR GAP
(Remote Location)
You can also run the drain tubing to an existing drain in
the house. A floor drain, laundry tub, standpipe, sump,
etc. are suitable drain points. See Figure 10. This type of
drain is the preferred over the p- trap drain adapter.
Check your local codes. Longer lengths of tubing (see
parts list in back of manual) may be needed.
Always be sure to provide an air gap between the end of
the hose and the drain point. This will prevent water from
backing up into the system. Airgaps are required code in
most areas.
To install a remote drain point, complete the following
steps:
1. Locate the 1/4" red tubing on the Reverse Osmosis fil-
ter assembly. See Figure 9.
2. Determine if this length is long enough to reach the
drain point.
3. If not, disconnect the 1/4" red tubing and replace with
an adequate length of tubing to reach the drain point.
Refer to Step 6 later in the manual on how to discon-
nect and connect tubing.
NOTE: A flow control insert is located inside the
elbow fitting that the drain tube connects to. Refer to
Figure 26. Leave this fitting in place.
4. Run the tubing to the drain point and secure at the end
with a bracket (purchased locally). See Figure 10.
Provide a 1-1/2" air gap between the end of the tube
and the drain. See Figure 10.
