Installation Instructions

Follow these steps carefully for proper installation of your cold water dispenser faucet kit.

1. Remove the compression nut, ferrule, locknut, friction washer, and base washer from the faucet.
2. Seat O-ring in base groove. If desired, a thin bead of silicone sealant can be applied to the O-ring for added sealing power. Do not use Plumber's Putty.
3. Center the faucet in the mounting hole and fasten with base washer, friction ring, and mounting nut. Do not overtighten.
4. Slide the 1/4" compression nut and ferrule over the supply tubing, insert the tube into the mounting nipple, and tighten the compression nut on the mounting nipple. Do not overtighten.
5. Fully open the handle on the pure water faucet and then turn on the water supply. Allow the water to run to rinse any debris from the system.
6. Check for leaks, especially at the water supply attachments.

Water Filter Unit Installation

The F400 in-line filter unit should be installed between your water supply and the dispenser faucet.

• Securely fix the filter housing onto the cabinet wall using the screw-mounted headworks.
• Use the 3/8" insert fittings for copper or rigid plastic tubing.
• Ensure proper connection to prevent leaks, utilizing the triple seals in the polypropylene housing.

Operating Instructions

• The F400 in-line filter unit uses a carbon block medium to improve the taste of your tap water.
• The faucet features a 1/4-turn ceramic disc cartridge for smooth operation.

Maintenance

Filter Replacement

For optimal filtration results, the F400R filter cartridge should be replaced every 3 to 6 months or after 528 gallons (2000 liters) of use.

1. Switch off the water supply to the filter unit.
2. Place a small bowl under the filter housing sump to catch any residual water.
3. Turn the filter house nut clockwise a quarter turn to allow the filter housing sump to drop down from the filter housing head.
4. Once the sump is removed, unscrew the filter housing nut from the sump and tip any water out of the sump into the bowl or sink.
5. Remove the old filter by pulling the filter downward from the sump.
6. Dispose of the old filter in normal household waste.
7. Fit the new filter into the filter housing sump. Ensure not to disturb any seals and make sure they are in place before the next step.
8. Reassemble the filter housing and turn on the water supply, checking for leaks.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Westbrass C0136-50 kit, consider the following common solutions:

• Low Water Flow: Check if the water supply valve is fully open. If the filter has been in use for an extended period, it may be clogged and require replacement.
• Leaks: Ensure all connections are securely tightened. Do not overtighten. Check O-rings and seals for proper seating and damage.
• Poor Water Taste: If the filtered water taste deteriorates, it is likely time to replace the filter cartridge.
