Installation Instructions
FAUCET INSTALLATION
INSTALL THE FAUCET
Be sure there is room underneath and above the sink to make the needed connections. Before starting, make sure there is sufficient room for the faucet base and unit . Select one of the following places to install the faucet:
A. In an existing sink spray attachment or soap dispenser hole.
B. In a hole to be drilled in the sink top.
C. In a hole to be drilled in the countertop, next to the sink.
NOTES:
•Be sure the faucet base will fit flat against the surface at the selected location so the bottom gasket between the base and surface area will seal.
•Make sure to leave enough clearance at the back of the faucet in case you need to remove it.
Installation Steps (refer to illustration below for clarification)
1.If drilling is needed, make a 11⁄ 2″ diameter hole.
Be sure to use the proper procedure for drilling porcelain or stainless steel. Special drill bits may be needed. Consult a qualified plumber for the proper procedure.
NOTE: When drilling in stainless steel, the edges may be sharp and could puncture the tube. Be careful to not cut yourself or damage the tube.
2.Remove the faucet body and base by turning the base counterclockwise.
3.Push the 1/4″ black tube and the 3/8″ black tube onto the correct barb fittings on the faucet base. Push the 3/8″ blue tube through the base.
