INSTALLATION OF THE FAUCET
1
Prepare for Installation
Drill a 7/8” diameter center hole into the
mounting surface for the spout shank and two
1-3/16” diameter holes 4” to either side of the
center hole for each valve body. (
NOTE:
If the
sink surface is uneven or irregular, plumber’s
putty or a silicone sealant may be used to
create a watertight seal. Plumber’s putty may
have an adverse effect on some cultured marble
or natural stone. In these cases, a high quality
silicone sealant may be used.)

Install Faucet
Install the spout assembly through the center
hole of the counter with the rubber washer on top
and metal washer and locknut underneath. Hand
tighten locknut.
Attach the Y adapter to the hose connections by
threading it onto the end of the spout post. The
Y adapter does not need to be wrench-tight. The
adapter will not leak if it is slightly loose due to
the double o-ring design.
3
Install Handles
Adjust the lower nut and washer on the stem
assembly by turning clockwise to lower. Install
the stem assembly by inserting it through the
hole from underneath the sink. Secure it in
place by slipping the o-ring over the top portion
and threading the brass locknut onto the top of
the stem assembly. Once done, tighten both
sides. To install handles, unscrew the bolt in the
handle slightly, push the handle onto the stem
assembly and secure by retightening the bolt.
Snap on hot and cold water indicators once
secure.

Attach Flexible Supply Hoses
Attach the flexible supply hoses to the Y-
adapter to the stem assembly water outlts.
Make sure the rubber washers are in place in
the brass hose fittings before attaching them.
Tighten the hose fittings with a wrench.
5
Remove Aerator and Flush
Once installation of hoses is complete, remove
the aerator. Turn the water supply on and allow
both hot and cold water to run for 30 to 60
seconds. While water is running, check for leaks
around and under the sink. Once done replace
aerator. Your Pacific Bay faucet is ready to use.
