Faucet Installation for Models GXST03C and GXSL03C (rev. 2)
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 second illustration at right, be sure the faucet base will fit
flat against the surface at the selected location so the gasket will seal.
If drilling is needed, make a 3⁄ 4
″ dia. hole. Be sure to use the proper
procedure for drilling porcelain or stainless steel. Special drill bits may
be needed.
Place small gasket, base and large gasket (in that order) onto the faucet
stem. Next, place lock washer and hex nut onto faucet stud.
Insert washer into tubing adapter. Securely tighten to faucet stud.
Feed the length of 3 ⁄ 8
″ OD tube from the bottom up through
the mounting hole. Connect to the tubing adapter as shown in second
illustration, tightening the compression nut securely.
Remove the short shipping tube and insert the spout into the faucet body.
Rotate spout into place.
Lower the faucet assembly into place on the underside of the mounting
hole. Place the mounting bracket above the lock washer. While holding
the mounting bracket in place, securely tighten the hex nut.
