NSTALLATION
Most sinks have an extra hole to mount additional faucets, sprayers or soap dispensers. If the sink does not have an
additional hole, or it is being used by another attachment, a hole must be drilled in either the sink or countertop.
The faucet stem requires a 1/2 inch diameter clearance hole for mounting; the chrome base plate will cover up a 1-1/2
inch diameter hole.
