Note:
Some sinks have predrilled 1¼" or 1½" holes that are suitable for
installation of your Drinking Water faucet. If so, please Skip to step Step 3.
NOTICE
Drilling a hole in a sink or countertop for faucet installation is
entirely out of the control of Watts. Watts accepts no responsi-
bility for damage resulting from installing faucet in any surface
including marble countertop or a porcelain sink.
For Marble countertops, porcelain sinks and other surfaces:
ALWAYS use a qualifi ed contractor for drilling a hole in a marble
counter-top, porcelain sink and other surfaces because they
can crack and chip easily when drilling the hole.
NOTICE
Always use a diamond-tip drill bit and hole saw.
Step A –
Determine desired location for the 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 B –
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).
Step C –
Using a 1¼" 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 D –
After drilling, remove all sharp edges and make sure the
surroundings of the sink are cooled before mounting
the faucet.
