How to Drill a Hole into Your Sink or Countertop (Optional)
NOTE:
Please confirm if there is an existing hole available to install the RO
faucet. If not, please drill a hole in accordance with the following steps.
It’s highly recommended to watch the YouTube video “How to Drill Faucet Holes”
for better understanding of the process. There is also a sticker for your reference to
drill the hole. Remember to wear safety glasses to protect your eyes while drilling
the faucet hole.
1. Choose a diamond core bit for granite, and a carbide drill bit for stainless steel.
Do not use a hammer drill on natural stone, glass or ceramic;
2.
Glue the sticker to your sink or countertop, and drill a hole referring to the size
shown on the sticker (1
⅜
”);
3.
Make an indent with a center punch on a stainless steel sink before drilling to
help guide the bit;
4. Be careful when drilling on a porcelain sink, as it can be easily chipped. Apply
downward pressure firmly to the bit until breaking through the surface;
5. Starting at the lowest speed, hold the drill straight with firm pressure to prevent
the bit from walking on the counter;
6. Once breaking through the surface, swirl the drill a little to apply pressure in a
circle evenly.
Prior to installation, it is highly recommended to watch the video
