Step 1
Mount Auxiliary Faucet
Note: This faucet is designed to fit
a 9/16” hole. Most standard sinks come with 1-3/8” or 1-1/2” diameter water
sprayer holes that can be used to mount this faucet. If the pre-drilled holes cannot be used or are not in the
desired position, a new hole must be drilled using either a
9/16” or 5/8” drill bit. The faucet should be positioned
securely on a flat surface with adequate space for proper function.
If you need to drill a hole, start from step (1). If you will be using a pre-drilled hole, skip to step (5). If using the
mounting bracket (
C3
), use 3 screws to mount the bracket to a solid surface, then skip to step (5).
1. Line sink with newspaper or towel to prevent parts and materials from falling down the drain.
2. To help prevent scratching the sink surface or countertop, apply masking tape around the area that will
be drilled.
3. Mark the drill hole using a center punch or
pencil.
4.
Make a pilot hole using the 1/4” drill bit. Use
the 9/16” or 5/8” drill bit to drill the final hole.
Drill through the sink or countertop completely
and smooth rough edges with a file.
5. The first rubber gasket fits right into the base
of the faucet. Slide it into place, then guide the
faucet stem into the hole on your
counter/mounting bracket.
6. Under the counter, slide the hard plastic
washer, the small rubber washer, and the
metal gripping washer onto the stem in that
order. Tighten it all with the securing nut.
Step 2
Install the Kitchen Faucet Adapter Valve
Note:
This kit includes two adapter valve options: one with 3/8” NPT connections (C6a) and one with 1/2” NPT
connections (C6b). Depending on your undersink configuration, you may need to use a different valve.
Method A (Stop Valve and Sink Supply Line can be Disconnected)
1. Locate the
cold water
shut-off valve under the sink. Turn off the cold water supply.
2. Turn on the kitchen faucet to release pressure and allow water to completely drain from the line.
3.
Disconnect the cold water line from the 3/8” threaded stop valve under sink.
4. Holding the kitchen faucet adapter (
C6a
) in an upright position, screw onto the stop valve connection.
5. Screw the water supply hose, which leads to the sink, onto the open threaded end of the kitchen faucet
adapter valve. Tighten using an adjustable wrench.
Method B (Stop Valve and Sink Supply Line are Permanently Connected)
1. Locate the
cold water
shut-off valve under the sink. Turn off the cold water supply.
2. Turn on the kitchen faucet to release pressure and allow water to completely drain from the line.
3. Disconnect the cold
water supply hose from the 1/2” threaded stem on the bottom of the kitchen faucet.
4. Holding the kitchen faucet adapter valve (
C6b
) in an upright position, screw onto the threaded faucet
stem.
5. Using the nut that was previously connecting the cold water line to the kitchen faucet, screw the cold
water supply line to the male threads of the adapter valve. Tighten using an adjustable wrench.
