2b. IMPORTANT: DECK THICKNESS (countertop)
Your deck thickness determines whether the mounting bracket (22) is installed open side up or down. For spray models, a groove on the threaded shank (16) indicates the
minimum amount of thread length which must be exposed for proper attachment of nuts (23) and (28). For models without spray, a minimum of 1/2" of threaded shank (16) must be exposed for proper attachment of nut (23). Position mounting bracket onto threaded shank (16) and around supply tubes (17). Do NOT kink tubing. Install mounting nut (23) and tighten by hand.

3.Be sure faucet is positioned evenly on sink. Make final tightening of mounting nut (23) with mounting tool (29).
4.Carefully straighten each supply tube using two hands. At this time, affix the Caution Hang Tag onto either supply tube over the 1/2” threaded fitting (19). If using flexible supply lines with compression fittings, thread supply line nuts on finger tight, then holding one threaded fitting with a wrench, tighten nut with another wrench, rotating one half turn. Do not overtighten. Connect the existing hot and cold water supply lines to the two (2) 1/2” threaded fittings. The hot supply tube is always to the left when threaded shank (16) is positioned to rear.
