FAUCET INSTALLATION
The faucet may be installed on any flat surface.
Always check the underside of the desired location to make sure
it is clear of interference.
Step 1 – Determine the desired location for your faucet
on your sink surface.
Step 2 – Place a piece of masking tape on determined
location for the hole to be drilled. Mark the center of the hole
to be drilled on the tape.
Step 3 – Use a variable speed drill on low speed and drill a
1/8” hole in the center of the mark on the masking tape.
Step 4 – Enlarge the hole using a 1/4” drill bit followed by a
1/2” drill bit. Using the different size bits to enlarge the hole will
make it easier to achieve the final ½” diameter hole size.
Step 5 – Assemble the faucet as shown in the diagram.
NOTE:
Most sinks are pre-drilled with a 1 ¼” diameter hole
that can be used for the faucet. Often if the hole is not being
used, a plug is inserted into the hole. If you do not have a hole
or it is already being used for a soap dispenser, sprayer or
dishwasher vent, you will need to create a new hole.
CAUTION:
Once drilled, the hole in the sink might be sharp.
Use caution when inserting the faucet stem into the hole.
NOTE:
Drilling into a sink may require special drill bits,
especially for marble, porcelain or ceramic style sinks.
Check with the sink supplier for proper drilling requirements.
