4.6 Drilling
If you need to drill a new hole for your drinking water system, take the base cover off the faucet
and place it where you want to install the drinking water faucet, and then mark the location.
To avoid damaging the sink or counter, consult a qualified plumber or installer for drilling
procedures in porcelain, stainless steel, granite, quartz or some other special material. WINIX is
not responsible for any damage that occurs due to improper installation of the unit.
Before drilling, check for obstructions underneath the sink where the hole will be drilled. Make
sure it is clear and safe to drill.
Use a 1/2inch drill bit to drill the hole
