How to Mount the
Auxiliary Tap
1. Select a location for the Auxiliary Tap. There may already be an extra,
capped hole in your sink's ledge for a sprayer or extra tap. If so,
mounting your Auxiliary Tap there will result in the easiest installation.
Just remove the cap and the hole is ready to use, no drilling needed.
WARNING: Due to the possibility of shock or electrocution, use extreme
care when operating an electric power drill or other power tools around
the sink. Make sure that no part of you or the drill comes into contact
with water or moisture at any time.
2. If there is no ready-to-use capped hole, you may choose to drill a hole
in the sink ledge or counter where you want to install your Auxiliary
Tap. The hole must be at least 32mm in diameter and centered no
farther than 150mm from the sink basin. Before drilling, make sure
that you have suffi cient clearance below the sink or counter to
accommodate the tap and allow you to make connections to the
eSpring Water Purifi er.
NOTE: If you have a porcelain/ceramic sink, you may want to seek profes-
sional assistance for proper drilling.
3. Insert the tap spout into the main body and press into place.
4. Remove the wing nut while keeping the foam gasket in place.
5. Holding the foam gasket in place, lower the Auxiliary Tap stem and
hoses through the hole in the sink ledge or counter (Fig. 10).

6. Reach up from below the counter and place the wing nut onto the
threaded tap stem above the three attached hoses. Position the tap
in the desired orientation relative to the location of the handle (left-
handed or right-handed). Have a helper hold the tap in place while you
tighten the wing nut.
