Drill the Faucet Hole (if necessary)
The faucet can be installed through a standard faucet hole or spray hose
hole in your sink, if one is available. If no hole is available, use the following
instructions to drill a faucet hole. If a faucet hole is already available, skip to
section
Connect the Faucet (pg 6)
.
1.
Select and mark the faucet mounting spot on the sink.
a.
Confirm that there are no reinforcing ribs under the desired faucet
location.
b.
If you have an extra hole in your sink for a spray hose, you may also
choose to disconnect the spray hose and use that existing hole for
the CB-As faucet.
2.
Use the hammer to gently tap the center punch on
the sink location where the hole is to be drilled. This
creates an indentation to mark the drilling location.
3.
If you have a porcelain, ceramic, or cast acrylic sink:
CAUTION:
Porcelain, ceramic, and cast acrylic
surface materials are extremely hard and can easily
crack or chip. Use extreme caution when drilling. CB
Tech is not responsible for any damages resulting
from faucet installation.
a.
Use the 1/2” carbide-tipped masonry drill bit to grind away a small
section of sink veneer down to the metal, clearing enough space to
allow drilling without damaging the rest of the sink surface veneer.
b.
Carefully use the 7/16” high-speed steel drill bit to completely drill a
hole through the metal sink.
CAUTION:
Do not allow the drill bit to “grab” the sink veneer, as this will
damage the surface.
4.
If you have a stainless steel or metal sink:
a.
Use the 1/8” high-speed drill bit to
drill a pilot hole.
b.
Use the 7/16” high-speed drill bit to
completely drill a hole through the
metal sink.
