INSTALL THE FAUCET

Be sure there is room underneath and above
the sink to make the needed connections. Before
starting, make sure there is sufficient room for the
faucet base and unit. Select one of the following
places to install the faucet:

A. In an existing sink spray attachment or soap

dispenser hole.

B. In a hole to be drilled in the sink top.

C. In a hole to be drilled in the countertop, next

to the sink.

NOTES:
• Be sure the faucet base will fit flat against the

surface at the selected location so the bottom
gasket between the base and surface area
will seal.

• Make sure to leave enough clearance at the back

of the faucet in case you need to remove it.

Installation Steps (refer to illustration below
for clarification)

1. If drilling is needed, make a 1

may be needed. Consult a qualified plumber
for the proper procedure.

may be sharp and could puncture the tube. Be
careful to not cut yourself or damage the tube.
