Installation Instructions

FAUCET INSTALLATION

Be sure there is room underneath the sink to make the needed connections. Select one of the following locations to install the faucet:

In an existing sink spray attachment or soap dispenser hole.

In a hole to be drilled in the sink top.

In a hole to be drilled in the countertop, next to the sink.

NOTE: Be sure the faucet base will fit flat against the surface at the selected location so the gasket will seal.

1.If drilling is needed, make a 1-1/4dia. hole. Be sure to use the proper procedure for drilling porcelain or stainless steel.

2.Insert the faucet spout into the body. Tighten cap until snug.

3.Feed the blue, 1/4black and 3/8black tubes up through the hole in the countertop or sink.

4.Feed the two black tubes up through the gasket, faucet base and O-ring.

5.Push the 1/4black and 3/8black tubing onto their respective barb fittings on the body.

6.Seat the base and body together. Make sure the O-ring and gasket are in place when the base meets the body. The faucet handle will be at the 3 o’clock position with respect to the base.

7.Slide the lock washer onto the threaded stem of the body, then thread the brass nut onto the stem. Screw about halfway up.

8.Screw the tubing adapter to the threaded stem of the body.

9.Push the blue tubing into the adapter. It should go in about 1/2. Pull on it to make sure it is installed securely.

10.Feed the tubing and stem back down through the 1-1/4hole.

11.Under the counter, insert the mounting disk above the lock washer and tighten the brass nut until snug.
