Location Requirements

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

■Check location where faucet will be installed. Proper installation is your responsibility. Make sure you have everything necessary for correct installation. It is the responsibility of the installer to comply with installation specifications and with state and local plumbing codes. Protect faucet and water lines leading to faucet against freezing. Damage from freezing is not covered by the warranty.

■Faucet requires a 1³⁄₈" (3.5 cm) diameter opening in sink or countertop. If hole is not available for mounting it is recommended that a qualified installer be contacted to drill the hole for your installation in a sink deck or countertop. Thickness of sink or countertop hole must not exceed 1³⁄₄"

(4.4 cm).

■Hot and cold water supply lines must be available and if they are not it is recommended that a qualified plumber install the necessary piping.

■Faucet hoses are equipped with compression type seals and do not require sealing compounds to prevent leaking.

■As with all metal objects, follow proper handling techniques.

■It is recommended that a qualified plumber/installer install the faucet. The faucet installation must comply with national and local plumbing codes and ordinances.

■The faucet should be examined for damage prior to installation. Do not install a damaged faucet. Instead, return the faucet to the dealer from whom you purchased it. Failure to do so will void the warranty.
