Drill a Hole for the Faucet in a Porcelain Sink

Note: Most sinks are predrilled with 1½" or 1¼" diameter hole

that you can use for your RO faucet. (if you are already using it

for a sprayer or soap dispenser, see Step 2).
Caution: Porcelain sinks are extremely hard and can crack or

chip easily.
Use extreme caution when drilling. Watts accepts no responsi-

bility for damage resulting from the installation of faucet.

Step A – Determine desired location for

the RO faucet on your sink

and place a piece of masking

tape on over where the hole is

to be drilled . Mark the center

of the hole on the tape .

Step B – Using a variable speed drill

set on the slowest speed, drill

a

1

8

“ pilot hole through both

porcelain and metal casing

of sink at the marked center

of the desired location . Use

lubricating oil or liquid soap

to keep the drill bit cool (If drill

bit gets hot it may cause the

porcelain to crack or chip) .

Step C – Using a 1¼" hole saw, pro-

ceed to drill the large hole .

Keep drill speed on the slow-

est speed and use lubricating

oil or liquid soap to keep the

hole saw cool during cutting .

Step D – Make sure the surroundings

of the sink are cooled before

mounting the faucet to the

sink after drilling and remove

all sharp edges .

STEP 1

Punch a Hole for the Faucet in a Stainless

Steel Sink

Note: If mounting faucet to a Stainless

Steel Sink you will need a 1¼" Hole

Punch. The faucet opening should be

centered between the back splash

and the edge of the sink, ideally on the

same side as the vertical drain pipe.

Step A – Drill a ¼" pilot hole . Use a

"

Hole Punch and an adjustable

wrench to punch the hole in the

sink . Change to the 1¼" Hole

Punch to enlarge the hole

The faucet can now be installed .
