PORCELAIN ENAMEL SINK/ STAINLESS STEEL SINK/ ALUMIUM SINK
A 11mm (7/16”) hole is required for the faucet. This required size of the hole may vary
according to the faucet you are going to install. It is recommended that you get special drill
bit for porcelain and tile counter. If you don't have the special drill bit, then you need to pay
special attention.
1. Place a piece of masking tape or duct tape on the determined location where the hole
is to be drilled.
2. Use a variable speed drill at slow speed with 1/8” drill bit, and drill a centering hole in
the centre of the desired faucet location. Use lubricating oil to keep the drill bit cool
while drilling.
3. Enlarge the hole using a 1/ 4” drill bit.
4. Enlarge the hole using 7/16” bit. Keep bit well oiled and cool, then drill slowly.
5. File or clean the surrounding area and remove the masking or duct tape. (NOTE: the
metal chips on porcelain will stain very fast)
6. Pass the escutcheon plate (chrome base plate) and small rubber washer according to
the diagram through the threaded mounting tube at the base of the faucet.
7. From under the sink, install the locating washer, lock washer and nut. Then screw on
tightly.
8. According to the diagram, pass brass nut through the BLUE tubing first, then plastic
sleeve (do not use the brass sleeve), then the plastic insert. Push the white plastic
sleeve against the insert.
9. Screw on the Blue tubing with brass nut to the faucet base. Use wrench to tighten the
nut but don't over tighten it. Depending on the type of faucet which you have chosen,
the mounting of the tube may vary. If you don’t mount the tube with a plastic sleeve,
please use a John Guest type adapter and screw it onto the threaded mounting tube.
For insertion of the tube please refer to page 13.
