ELECTRONIC FAUCET INSTALLATION
Be sure there is room underneath the sink to make the needed
connections. Select one of the following places 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: Looking at Fig. 3D, be sure the faucet base will fit flat against
the surface at the selected location so the gasket will seal. The base may
have to be angled sideways or diagonally.
1. If drilling is needed, make a 1-1⁄4² dia. hole. Be sure to use the
proper procedure for drilling porcelain or stainless steel. Special
drill bits may be needed.
2. Looking at Fig. 3A, insert a screw into the NON-SLOTTED base
mounting hole. Turn a flat nut a few turns onto the screw.
3. Position the base gasket over the mounting hole. Set the base on
the gasket, routing the leadwire through the mounting hole.
Holding the flat nut under the sink with one finger, tighten the
screw until just snug.
4. Turn the remaining flat nut a few turns onto the other screw.
Position the screw in the slotted base mounting hole and tighten
until snug. Make sure the gasket position is properly aligned and
carefully tighten
both screws until the base is held firmly in place.
Do not overtighten and break the base.
5. Assemble the top faucet base and hex nut onto the faucet stud
(Fig. 3C). Tighten the nut until snug.
6. Insert washer into tubing adapter. Securely tighten to faucet stud.
7. Put a few wraps of Teflon Tape* on the end of the faucet stud.
Using the plastic washer, turn the tubing adapter onto the faucet
stud and tighten securely.
8. Feed the length of 3⁄8² OD tubing from the bottom, up through
the faucet base. Connect to the tubing adapter as shown
in Fig. 3C., tightening the compression nut securely.
9. Remove the short shipping tube and insert the spout into the
faucet body.
10. Lower the faucet assembly and lock into place on the faucet base.
