4. Install Faucet. The X-1F is furnished
with General Ecology’s exclusive “Top
Mount” Ceramic Disc Faucet. If a suitable
hole isn’t available, prepare a
¾
” hole to
install your faucet. Cut out Mounting
Pattern supplied on page number 8 and
use for rough positioning. Tape pattern
in place, then for final positioning, place
Faucet on pattern on top of sink and
check for correct position of faucet body,
spout and lever. Make sure of clearance
above and below sink before drilling
mounting hole. Porcelain sinks require
special care. For best results we suggest
you contact your dealer or others with
experience in making cutout in porcelain
sinks. We have had good success with
the following procedure. First cover the
area being penetrated with masking
or duct tape and, from beneath, drill a
d
” pilot hole upward, a
¼
” hole and
then a
g
” hole and finally the
¾
” hole
necessary to mount the faucet. For
man-made and stone products consult
counter-top manufacturer’s guidelines.
For stainless steel sinks use a “Greenlee”
type punch/die tool. If you do not have
a “Greenlee” punch and are installing on
stainless, follow the same procedure as
on porcelain/cast iron sinks. Be sure sink
ledge at drill hole is “flat” and burr free.

It is important to note control handle position
and “pull direction” to insure adequate
clearance.
Also note the “swing feature” of the faucet’s
spout that allows many different mounting
options.
Make sure of all clearances
above and below
sink before drilling mounting hole.
