Recommended Installation by a Professional Plumbing Contractor
Note: The use of petroleum base plumbers putty on our products will nullify the warranty. We recommend the use of clear sili-
cone sealing materials. Use plumbers tape or equivalent to seal all threaded joints.
If mounting faucet to a stainless steel rim, an under-mounting support, (e.g. wood, appropriate size x 1/2” thick), should be utilized.
Recommended deck hole Ø1.25. Drill holes in mounting surface, center spacing for bridge faucet to be between 8” - 9-11/16” and
the side spray hole to be a minimum of 4-3/4” away from the nearest mounting hole of faucet.
1. Place bridge faucet body through holes on mounting surface and secure into place with flange nuts. See Fig. 1.
2. Thread quick connect adapter, with o-ring inserted, onto the base of each shank. See Fig. 1.
3. Attach the diverter assembly to quick connect adapters - one side at a time (cold block to the cold side of faucet) as follows:
Reference Fig. 2
a. Engage stem connector on to broached stem extention, located inside shank. See Detail A.
b. Rotate to align exterior hex of upper and lower adapters and mate together so there is NO GAP between the two.
See Detail B.
c. Check the alignment of the clip groove of upper adapter and the side slots of lower adapter. Secure position by pushing
clips though slot and into groove. See Fig. 2.
4. Place the side spray escutcheon with shank through mounting surface and secure into place with flange nut. See Fig. 3.
5. Drop side spray hose through escutcheon and thread onto diverter assembly. Do not use the adapter provided with spray assem-
bly. See Fig. 3.
6. Attach hot and cold water supply hoses (1/2-14NPS, not included) to appropriate valve, (utilizing cone washers, friction rings and
nuts supplied.) See Fig. 4.
7. Adjust handle alignment as required by, removing set screws on handle base. Lift handle from stem, rotate to proper alignment
and lower back onto stem. Secure into place with setscrews.
8. Remove aerator from spout, turn on water supply, and flush valves until water is clear. Check for leaks and make any final adjust-
ments required. Re-attach aerator to the spout.
Important:
1. If the cold block of the diverter assembly is installed on the hot side of the faucet, the faucet will have no flow.
2. Faucet can operate without side spray by replacing the side spray connection to cold block with 1/4-18 NPMS or 1/4-18 NPT
thread cap.
