dRillinG a hole in a PoRCelain/CeRamiC sink:
1 Locate an area on your sink to install the
Dedicated Drinking Water Faucet.
(Make certain
there are no support ribs under the sink in that
area.)
Cover the designated location for the
Faucet installation on sink with masking tape.
2 Using the carbide-tipped pilot drill supplied
with the Relton Cutter Kit and a variable
speed drill, slowly drill a pilot hole completely
through the porcelain or enamel and metal
base material.
3
The plastic sleeve supplied on the pilot drill is
to be positioned against the drill chuck after
the pilot drill has been inserted. This prevents
the drill chuck from contacting the porcelain
after the pilot hole has been completed.
4 Change to the spring-loaded porcelain saw
bit. Be sure the pilot guide supplied is inserted
tightly into the porcelain saw. With light
pressure applied to the porcelain saw, start the
drill motor turning as slowly as possible; after
the initial cut has started in the porcelain, the
drill motor’s R.P.M. may be increased.
(Avoid
high R.P.M.s during the initial penetration
of the porcelain.)
Three to four minutes may
be necessary to cut the porcelain; a faster
penetration rate could result in excessive
chipping. Continue drilling until a complete
ring has been cut through to the metal base.
5 Change to the finish hole saw bit. Be sure the
pilot guide is inserted tightly. Begin to cut with
slow speed and light pressure until porcelain
(inside the ring cut by porcelain saw in Step 4)
has been penetrated to the metal underneath.
At that point, remove the hole saw from the
hole and clean all chips from the porcelain surface. Reinsert the hole saw
into the hole and cut through the remaining material.
cAuTION
this type of sink can chip very easily. If you have any doubts about doing
this yourself, consult a licensed plumber
RecOMMeNdATION
experiment on discarded porcelain to familiarize yourself with
the action and performance of the porcelain cutter kit.
