PRODUCT WATER FAUCET SITE PREPARATION
Refer to Faucet Installation Instructions (Pages 6 and 8) for site location and mounting hole
specifications.
Primary considerations for site selection are convenience of use and an open area under sink.
Always check underside of selected location for obstructions.
PORCELAIN/ENAMEL OVER STEEL
OR CAST IRON SINKS
NOTE:
A heavy duty, variable speed drill motor is
recommended for this procedure.
Use of a spring-loaded porcelain drill set is
strongly recommended (Figure 5).
Plastic sleeve supplied on pilot drill (Figure 5.A.)
is to be positioned on drill bit against drill chuck.
This prevents chuck from contacting porcelain
after pilot hole has been completed.
Suggestion: Practice on discarded sinks to familiarize
yourself with operation of porcelain cutter kit.
CAUTION:
Avoid high motor R.P.M. during initial
penetration of porcelain, as high drill speed
will cause excessive chipping.
1. Using carbide tipped bit with plastic sleeve (Figure
5.A.), drill pilot hole completely through porcelain and
metal underneath.
2. Place spring-loaded porcelain saw (Figure 5.B.) into
drill chuck. Make sure pilot guide is inserted tightly.
Insert pilot guide into pilot hole. Push down gently on
drill motor to apply light pressure to porcelain surface.
Start drill motor turning as slowly as possible.
After initial cut has started, motor speed may be
gradually increased. The cut may require three to
four minutes to complete. Going faster could result in
excessive chipping. Be sure a complete ring has
been cut through porcelain to material underneath.
3. Place finish hole saw (Figure 5.C.) into drill chuck.
Make sure pilot guide is inserted tightly. Insert pilot
guide into pilot hole. Begin cut using a slow speed
and light pressure until porcelain (inside ring cut in
Step 2) has been penetrated to material underneath.
4. Remove saw from hole and clean all debris from
porcelain surface. Reinsert saw into hole and cut
through remaining material.
TILE COUNTER TOP
1. Follow procedures detailed in section labeled
"Porcelain/Enamel Over Steel" (substitute "tile" for
"Porcelain" in instructions).
STAINLESS STEEL SINK
1. Use a center punch to make a small indentation to
mark center of desired location.
2. Drill a pilot hole with a 1/8" metal drill bit, then enlarge
hole with a 3/8" metal drill bit.
3. Complete hole size by using a 1 1/4" chassis punch
available from your dealer (P/N 36201006).
NOTE:
Installation hole is ready, install faucet.
