Installation Instructions.

Faucet Installation

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 battery powered faucet base. Select one of the following places to install the faucet:

1. In an existing sink spray attachment or soap dispenser hole.

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

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

NOTE: 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.

Installation Steps (refer to Fig. 4 for clarification)

1. If drilling is needed, make a 3/4

″ diameter hole.

Be sure to use the proper procedure for drilling porcelain or stainless steel. Special drill bits may be needed. Consult a qualified plumber
for the proper procedure.

2. Remove the faucet with pre-installed tubing, thin o-ring (D), faucet base (E), bottom base gasket (F), lock washer (G), hex nut (H)

and mounting bracket (I) from the packaging.

3. Feed tubing connected to the faucet through the thin o-ring (D), faucet base (E), bottom base gasket (F), lock washer (G) and

hex nut (H).

4. Thread the hex nut (H) up the stem of the faucet until the height between the bottom of the base gasket (F) and top of the lock

washer (G) is slightly larger than the thickness of the mounting surface (J).

5. Lower the faucet assembly into place in the mounting hole and orient to final position. Place the mounting bracket (I)

above the lock washer (G) around the faucet stem (Fig. 5). While holding the mounting bracket in place, securely tighten
the hex nut.

NOTE: Two people may be required to complete this step.
