Installation

Caution:

 Be sure to turn off hot and cold water supplies before 

installing or servicing faucet. 

Step 1

  If installing model with hose and spray, install hose 

guide into hole in sink (normally the far right hole on four hole 

sink). From underneath sink place washer then nut over hose 

guide and secure to sink. Insert hose through hose guide and up 

through middle hole from left in sink. Place gasket on base of 

escutcheon.  From above sink attach hose securely to nipple on 

base of faucet. 

Step 2   

Align faucet to sink by matching underside arrow 

and letter “F” on escutcheon with front of sink. Insert through 

center hole of sink. Secure faucet to sink by tightening the 

anchor bar (KN-23), spacer (KN-26) and nut (L-36) on the 

mounting bolts from underside. (If sink surface is uneven use 

putty or sealant to make proper seal under base.) 

Step 3

  Connect flex hoses (LN-247) to supply stops (left hose 

to hot, right hose to cold).  Hot supply hose is marked with tag.

Step 4

  It is very important to thoroughly flush the supply 

lines to prevent foreign matter, i.e. copper chips, sand, stones, 

etc. from damaging the sealing surfaces of cartridge. Remove 

aerator and turn valve handle on to full cold position, open cold 

supply. Without closing, turn handle to full hot and open hot 

supply. Let water run in hot only and cold only positions long 

enough to flush supply lines thoroughly. If equipped with a hose 

and spray, direct spray head into sink and activate spray. Shut 

off faucet and replace aerator. Check for leaks. 

Step 5

  The handle limit stop can be set to limit handle turn 

to the hot position. The limit mechanism is factory set to allow 

full handle travel. To adjust the limit stop, turn handle to the 

full hot position and lift handle to open faucet approximately 

half way to obtain a smooth flow for correct initial temperature 

measurement. 

Step 6

  If when faucet is on and in full hot position and water 

is too hot, shut water off, remove plug button (KN-157), loosen 

set screw (L-22) and remove handle (KN-3RB or KN-3BRB), 

lift limit stop using a small flat head screw driver and rotate 

clockwise to lower temperature. If water is not hot enough, 

rotate counter clockwise (See Figure 1 on reverse side). After 

correct temperature is achieved, reattach handle, reversing 

procedure above.

Cartridge Replacement (KN-4) 

Step 1

  Remove plug button (KN-157), loosen set screw (L-22) 

and remove handle (KN-3RB or KN-3BRB). 

Step 2

  Engage tabs in cartridge wrench (LN-34) with slots 

in compression ring (KN-2) and use screwdriver in wrench 

holes or pliers on wrench and turn counter clockwise until 

compression ring engages with cap (KN-1). Continue turning 

counter clockwise so that cap/ring assembly is removed from the 

body (KN-11). 

Step 3

  Remove cartridge and o-ring seal (KN-4). 

Step 4

  Install new cartridge while taking care to maintain 

position of the o-ring seal at the base of the cartridge. Match 

posts in base of cartridge with alignment holes in adapter plate 

during assembly. 

Step 5

  Reassemble faucet in reverse fashion. Thread cap onto 

body firmly by hand. Do not use a wrench which may damage 

the finish. Tighten compression ring (KN-2) finger tight using 

the wrench (LN-34) then 1/4 to 1/2 turn further. Set hot water 

limit stop in accordance with installation step 6 above. 

Diverter replacement (KN-169) 

1.  Follow cartridge replacement steps 1 through 5 above. 
2.  Remove retaining ring (K-44) with 3/8" hex key wrench. 
3.  Remove diverter and o-ring (K-46).
4.  Grease diverter o-ring and install into body. 
5.  Press diverter into o-ring and body. 
6.  Replace retaining ring.
