best results use a 1⁄2” carbide-tipped masonry drill bit.
Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes while drilling the faucet hole.
Note: No need to drill a hole if an existing hole is available:
a) Spare hole: If there is a spare hole in the sink covered by a chrome cover,
simply remove the chrome cover and install the RO faucet there.
b) Spray hose: If the spray hose is not in use, remove the hose, and mount the
RO faucet there. Remember to plug up the outlet under the main faucet. If the
spray hose uses a diverter at the base of the spout, be sure to remove it to
avoid trouble later on.
c) Hanging faucet: If drilling a hole is not feasible (i.e. rental home, drill tool not
available etc.), the faucet can just sit on the cabinet door or wherever is
convenient. Be creative!
When drilling a hole for the RO faucet, choose a location that looks good, works well, and is
most convenient for dispensing pure water. An ample flat area is required for the faucet base
so that the faucet can be drawn down tightly.
Faucet location:
Make sure the faucet stud will be accessible from below when the hole is drilled. If space is
not available on the upper sink area, the faucet can be located on the counter top by the edge
of the sink. If the counter top is ceramic tile, the method for drilling the hole will be the same
as for porcelain sinks.
For Stainless Steel Sink : Before using a 1/2” carbide drill bit, an indent should be
made with a center punch to keep the drill bit from walking. A small pilot hole will
also aid the drill bit.
For Porcelain Sink: Porcelain enameled sinks can readily be chipped if care is not
exercised when drilling the hole. Before starting the drill motor, apply firm downward
pressure on the bit until a crunching occurs. This will help keep the drill bit from
walking when starting the hole. A small pilot hole will also aid the drill bit.
Note : Immediately after the hole drilling is done, clean up all metal chips, as metal
chips will stain the porcelain!!
