INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Always turn water supplies OFF before removing existing faucet. Turn faucet on to relieve water pressure and to ensure water is completely off.
OLD FAUCET REMOVAL: Your old faucet may attach in a number of different ways depending on the brand. To remove, reverse steps in installation instruction sheet of old faucet, follow instructions in a DIY type of book or follow instructions listed below.
After years of use, you may need to use a penetrating oil spray on the faucet mounting hardware to help loosen corrosion and assist in removing the faucet connections.
Disconnect water supply lines from faucet supply lines. Remove mounting hardware using a basin wrench or channel lock pliers. Lift out faucet. Thoroughly clean and dry the mounting surface after removal of old faucet.
INSTALLING THE PURETOUCH® Classic FILTERING FAUCET SYSTEM
Helpful Tools: Phillips screwdriver, two adjustable wrenches
CAUTION: Do not use with portable washing devices, i.e. dishwashers, washing machines.
NOTE: Do not bend supply tubes until instructed in step 4.
HINTS: When using flexible supplies, we recommend threaded fittings be installed onto supply lines before placing faucet through sink holes (see step 6). For installations on tile countertops, remove rubber gasket from underneath support plate (31) or deck ring (20) and apply a bead of putty in its place. Roll the putty into the diameter of a pencil. When applied in the groove, the putty should protrude a minimum of 1/16".
Side Spray Installation (side spray models only)
1.Locate foam gasket on hose guide (25) by sliding gasket onto shank and tucking outer edge of gasket under the hose guide (25). Do not drive the center of the gasket up into the hose guide. Install hose guide (25) through furthest left or right hole in sink. From under sink, thread extended locknut (27) (either side up) on shank of hose guide and tighten by hand. Feed spray hose (26) down through the hose guide (25) (do not connect spray hose to faucet until step 6 ).
