WateRx WX300 Manual

Installing Your WX 300

Remove hardware from the base of the faucet, except chrome and rubber washers.  Place the
threaded portion of faucet through drilled hole so that the handle is in desired position.  Secure
in place with flat washer, lock washer, and nut.  You may wish to use a wrench and the faucet
flats to prevent damage to the finish.

Shut off cold water line and place saddle valve around tubing above shut-off valve.  Wrap saddle valve around
copper pipe.  Tighten clamping screw clockwise all the way until it stops.  Leave in closed position.  Pliers may
be used for initial pierce.

Cut poly tubing into two pieces to desired length.  Position one piece between the filter housing and faucet.
Position second piece between filter housing and cold water line.  Do not cut pieces too short- some slack is
necessary to make cartridge replacement/cleaning easy.

Connect one piece of poly tubing between saddle valve fitting and system inlet fitting.  Insert tubing into the gray
fittings as far as it will go and pull back.  Tubing is locked in place.  Connect remaining pieces of poly tubing
between system outlet fitting and fitting at end of faucet stem.  Insert the tubing the same way as before.

If you wish to feed filtered water to your icemaker: cut tubing on outlet side and insert T fitting.  Use small
section of 3/8” poly tubing to connect 3/8 x ¼ reducer and connect ¼” line (copper or poly) from icemaker.

Slowly open shut-off valve and turn piercing screw counter clockwise.  For maximum flow, back wing nut of
piercing screw out all the way.  Adjust flow with wing nut as required.

Push black lever up on the faucet and allow approximately 10 gallons of water to pass through.
Check for any leaks at this time.
