The drinking water system faucet should be located on a flat surface, conveniently located near the sink, so that it

empties into the sink. Most sinks have pre-drilled holes designated for sprayers, soap dispensers, and other ac-

cessories. If your sink does not have an extra hole, then a 9/16” diameter hole must be drilled.

• Porcelain, enamel, and ceramic sinks require special procedures for drilling holes. See next page for special instructions.
