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 1 ″ 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.
CAUTION:
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. Remove the butterfly bracket from the screw.
Then insert the screw into the top of the base
and reattach the butterfly bracket.
4. Align the gasket to cover the hole completely.
Then place the butterfly bracket on the base
into the hole.
5. Tighten the screw to secure the butterfly bracket
to the underside of the sink top. The base should
be firmly in place and should not wobble or turn.
