Franke recommends the installer familiarize themselves with how this dispensing faucet will
be installed and function as part of a point-of-use hot water, a filtration only drinking water,
or a combination hot and filtered point-of-use water dispensing arrangement BEFORE the
products are installed. Make certain to observe all local plumbing and building codes during
installation of this unit.
It is important to identify the dispenser to be installed as this guide applies to multiple
configurations. The hot water dispensing faucets are part of the Little Butler® Series.
There are 2 different styles of Little Butler® Series dispensers available:
The LB_200 Series dispensers offer hot and filtered water separately. These dispensers
must be used in conjunction with both a Franke heating tank unit and a Franke filtration
system. They utilize 4 tubes to connect to the system.
• 2 blue poly-tubes for the cold water supply into the dispensing faucet, which comes
from the filtration system.
• 1 red poly-tube to carry the filtered water from the dispensing faucet to the heating
tank unit.
• 1 opaque high temperature silicone tube to carry the heated water from the heating
tank back to the dispensing faucet.
The LB_100 Series dispensers offer hot water only. These dispensers are required to be
used in conjunction with a Franke heating tank unit. Use of a Franke filtration system in
addition to the heating tank is optional, but strongly recommended in order to prolong the
life and improve the performance of the heating tank, as well as providing much higher
quality water as compared to un-filtered water entering the tank. These models utilize 3
tubes to connect to the system.
• 1 black poly-tube for the cold water supply to the dispensing faucet, which
must come from the home water supply or from the filtration system (if utilized).
• 1 red poly-tube to carry the filtered water from the dispensing faucet to the heating
tank unit.
• 1 opaque high temperature silicone tube to carry the heated water from the heating
tank back to the faucet.
The filtered water only dispensing faucets are part of the Drinking Water Series, which are
designated as DW_ _00 models. These dispensing faucets will only be used in conjunction
with a Franke filtration system. There will only be one black poly-tube to connect the faucet
to the filtration system.
IMPORTANT: Customer MUST USE genuine Franke components (see below) in tandem
with all Franke dispensing faucets. Use of any filtration products, heating tanks, or
service parts other than genuine Franke components will VOID THE PRODUCT
WARRANTY in its entirety. Use of any Franke dispensing faucet with a Reverse
Osmosis Filtration system will also VOID THE PRODUCT WARRANTY.

It is recommended to take the components and locate their optimum positions
before starting the installation. Make sure there is adequate clearance for the
dispenser handle(s) to open fully without interference. Make sure all plumbing
and electrical connections will reach the intended mounting positions for all the
components and there will be no obstructions or sharp bends in plumbing. Make
sure the counter top is no thicker than 2-¼”.
WARNING: Before inserting poly-tubing into the push fittings in subsequent
steps, ensure the ends of the tubing used are cut square and free of burrs,
both inside and outside. Ensure there are no gouges, scratches, or any
other form of damage within 1” from the cut end of the tubing. Damage
in this area can cause leakage. Do NOT use any thread sealant, plumbers
putty, glue, or other adhesive chemicals on the tubing or push fittings. This
can damage the o-rings inside the push fittings and cause leakage. Any
foreign substances used on the push fitting connections will VOID THE
PRODUCT WARRANTY. Do not use tools or modify any of the push fit
connections as this could damage the connection, resulting in leaks and
will VOID THE PRODUCT WARRANTY.

NOTE: When installing poly-tubing into
push fit connections, the tubing should
be firmly pressed into the fitting until
it stops to ensure a proper seal. If you
should need to remove the tubing from
the push fitting, use your thumb and
forefinger to press and hold in on the
collar while gently pulling the tube out.

First, the cold water supply to the dispensing
faucet needs to be created. Install the
Shut-off valve provided by placing it between
the cold water supply connection to the
kitchen faucet and the kitchen faucet cold
water inlet connection. Cut the black 3/8”
poly-tubing to the required length to provide
water from the shut-off valve to the filtration
system. (You should have some poly-tubing
left over. In the unlikely event you should
need more black 3/8” poly-tubing to complete
the installation, please contact our Customer
Service Department at 1-800-626-5771.)
Connect the black 3/8” poly-tubing to the
shut-off valve by pressing the tubing firmly
into the push fitting on the shut-off valve until
it stops. Connect the other end of the 3/8”
poly-tubing to the filtration system as outlined
in the instructions provided with the filtration
system. Take the remaining black 3/8”
poly-tubing and set it aside for later use.
NOTE: For the Drinking Water Series Faucets
(DW_ _ 00), there is a service label attached
to one end of the black 3/8” poly-tubing. Be
sure the tubing set aside for later use has this
service label attached as it will be connected
to the faucet later. It is important this label
remains connected to the faucet should you
ever need to service the faucet. For the Little
Butler series faucets (LB_100 and LB_200),
the service label will be attached to the hot
water supply line from the factory.

Next, Connect the cold water supply
tubing to the faucet. This will differ
depending on which dispensing faucet
you have.
• For Drinking Water Series Faucets
(DW_ _00) and Little Butler® Series
Hot only Faucets (LB_100) , insert the
remainder of the black 3/8” cold water
supply tubing left over from Step 4 into
the 3/8” push fitting at the base of the
faucet as illustrated.
• For the Little Butler® Series Hot and
Cold Faucets (LB_200), insert the 2 blue
¼” cold water supply tubes into the ¼”
push fittings at the base of the faucet as
illustrated.

for a 1-3/8” (35mm) mounting hole.
Before inserting the faucet in the
hole in the sink or counter top, make
sure the O-ring is positioned in its
seat and all hoses are secure. Place
the faucet in the hole, orienting the
spout towards the sink bowl.

NOTE: Depending on counter top
thickness, it may be easier to access the
mounting nut by disconnecting the cold
water supply hose(s).
Install fastening set as shown: mounting
washer, mounting spacer (if necessary),
and mounting nut. Tighten the mounting
nut with wrench from the underside of
the sink. The mounting spacer is only
needed for installations where the faucet
is mounted directly to a stainless steel
sink, or where the counter top is less
than ½” thick.

Complete the assembly of the cold water
supply tubing by inserting the 2 - 1/4”
blue poly-tubes already connected to
the faucet into 1/4” tee push fitting. Be
careful not to kink the tubes. Take the
tee tubing, the short piece of blue ¼”
poly-tubing, and connect it to the bottom
part of the ¼” tee and to the 1/4” x
3/8” reducing union fitting. Lastly, take
the part of the black 3/8” poly-tube left
over from Step 4 and connect it to the
1/4” x 3/8” reducing union fitting.
NOTE: Step 8 is only required on Little Butler® Series dispensers that offer
hot and cold water separately (LB_200 Series dispensers). If you have a
Little Butler® hot water only (LB_100 Series) dispenser or a Drinking Water
only (DW_ _00 Series) dispenser, go to Step 9.

Take the black 3/8” poly-tubing from the faucet and connect it to the outlet of
the filtration system as outlined in the filtration system instructions. If you decide
not to utilize a filtration system with your LB_100 Series faucet, you must provide
a connection for the black 3/8” poly-tube to the home’s cold water supply.
This will complete the installation for the Drinking Water only (DW_ _00 Series)
dispensing faucets. For Little Butler® Series dispensers (LB_100 and LB_200)
continue to Step 10.
