2. Selecting the Faucet Location
NOTE: The drinking water faucet should be positioned
with function, convenience, and appearance in
a 1-3/8" hole. Most sinks have pre-drilled 1-3/8" or
1-1⁄2" diameter holes that may be used for faucet
installation. If these pre-drilled holes cannot be
used or are in an inconvenient location, it will
be necessary to drill a 1-3/8" hole in the sink to
accommodate the faucet.
WARNING: This procedure may generate dust which
can cause severe irritation if inhaled or come
in contact with the eyes. The use of safety
glasses and respirator for this procedure is
recommended.
WARNING: Do not attempt to drill through an all-
porcelain sink. If you have an all-porcelain
sink, mount the faucet in pre-drilled sprayer
hole or drill through countertop next to sink.
WARNING: When drilling through a countertop, make
sure the area below the drilled area is free
of wiring and piping. Make certain that
you have ample room to make the proper
connections to the bottom of the faucet.
WARNING: Do not drill through a countertop that is
more than 1" thick.
WARNING: Do not attempt to drill through a tiled,
marble, granite or similar countertop.
Consult a plumber or the countertop
manufacturer for advice or assistance.
A. Line bottom of sink with newspaper to prevent metal
shavings, parts, or tools from falling down drain.
B. Place masking tape over the area to be drilled to help
prevent scratches if drill bit slips.
C. Mark hole with center punch. Use a 1/4" drill bit for a
pilot hole.
D. Using a 1-3/8" hole saw, drill a hole completely through
