After drilling, remove all sharp edges and make sure the surroundings
of the sink are cooled before mounting the faucet.
Step 3
Step 4
Determine desired location for the RO faucet on your sink and place
a piece of masking tape over where the hole is to be drilled. Mark the
center of the hole on the tape.
Step 1
Using a variable speed drill set on the slowest speed, drill a 1/8“ pilot
hole through both porcelain and metal casing of sink at the marked
center of the desired location. Use lubricating oil or liquid soap to keep
the drill bit cool (If drill bit gets hot it may cause the porcelain to crack
or chip).
Using a 1
¼
” diamond tip hole saw, proceed to drill the large hole. Keep
drill speed on the slowest speed and use lubricating oil or liquid soap
to keep the hole saw cool during cutting.
Step 2
Counter Top / Porcelain & Stainless Steel Sink
Note:
Most sinks are pre drilled with 1 ¼” diameter hole that you can use for your RO faucet.
(If you are already using it for a sprayer or soap dispenser, see step 1)
Porcelain sinks are extremely hard and can crack or chip easily.
Use extreme caution when drilling. Watts accepts no responsibility for
damage resulting from the installation of faucet. Diamond tip bit recommended.
