-- STEP 2: INSTALL DRAIN ADAPTER --

J

Note: Running the drain tubing directly to a floor

drain, sump, standpipe, laundry tub, etc., as shown

on page 18, is preferred. However, if that is not pos-

sible or practical, the included drain adapter installs

in the sink drain pipe, always above or ahead of the

p- trap (FIG. 4). Be sure to comply with your local

plumbing codes. Other drain pipe fittings, in addi-

tion to the adapter, may be needed.
J

The drain adapter fits 1-1/2” sink drain pipe.

J

The adapter installs directly onto the sink tailpiece

as typically shown in FIG. 4 and 5.
J

Locate so drain tubing from the faucet (installed in

step 1, page 8) makes a straight run to the adapter,

without dips, loops, low spots or kinks.

Note: Consult a plumber if you are not familiar

with plumbing procedures.

1. Use a ferrule and nut to assemble the drain tubing

connector to the drain adapter (FIG. 5). Turn the con-

nector to about 45_from the 12:00 position, as shown

(to 10:00 or 2:00 position as needed). Tighten the nut

securely.

2. Carefully disassemble the sink drain pipe and

clean the tailpiece to assure a leak-tight fit.

3. Install the drain adapter onto the sink tailpiece,

using a ferrule and nut. Snug the nut, but do not

tighten.

Note: If needed, to make fit, you can cut to shorten

the unthreaded end of the adapter. Do not cut too

short so the adapter will make a leak-tight seal with

the connecting fitting.

4. Assemble the p- trap to the drain adapter, and oth-

er drain pipe fittings as required (check codes) to

complete the drain run.

5. Tighten all connections, but do not overtighten and

break plastic fittings.

-- STEP 3: INSTALL FAUCET --

A. PREPARE MOUNTING HOLE
1.
Select 1 of the following places for the faucet. Be

sure it will fit flat against the surface, and there is

space underneath for tubing (see FIG. 8, page 8).

'

Use an existing sink top hole for a spray hose or

other faucet. A 1” to 1-1/4” diameter hole is need-

ed.
'

Drill a new hole in the countertop next to the

sink.
'

Drill a new hole in the sink top.

CAUTION: To avoid damaging a sink beyond re-

pair, consult a qualified plumber or installer for

guides to drill holes in porcelain or stainless steel.

2. If drilling is needed, make the 1”to 1-1/4”diame-

ter hole.

3. Place plumbers putty around the drilled hole (FIG.

6) to prevent water leakage around the base of the

faucet.
