step 2 - Make Hole for Filtered Water Faucet
Select one of the following options to install the faucet.
Be sure there is room underneath to make the needed
connections.
• Use an existing sink top hole for spray hose or
soap dispenser.
• Drill a new hole in the sink top.
• Drill a hole in the countertop next to the sink.
CAUTION: Drilling holes into countertops made of
stone or solid surface materials such as granite, marble,
Corian^“ or other plastic resin products should only be
performed by a qualified installer. Drilling these types
of surfaces by any other means may cause permanent,
irreparable damage to the countertop surface.
1. If drilling is needed, make a 3/4" dia. (minimum) hole
for the faucet.
2. Place plumbers' putty around the drilled hole to pre­
vent water leaks around the faucet.

Step 3 - Assemble and Install Faucet
FAUCET (Refer to Figure 4)
1. If not already assembled, install the rubber gasket,
spacer, flat (or lock) washer and hex nut onto the
threaded faucet stud.
2. Turn the tubing adapter onto the stud and hand tight­
en, then wrench tighten 1/4 turn only. BE CAREFUL
NOT TO CROSS-THREAD OR OVERTIGHTEN.
3. If the faucet is not assembled, slide the lever over the
cylindrical nut. Wet the o-ring seals on the faucet
spout. Remove and discard the short piece of tubing
from the faucet body and insert the spout in its place.
4. Connect tubing to faucet as described on page 7.
5. Lower the faucet into the sink or countertop hole.
6. On the underside of the sink or countertop, insert the
large steel washer between the mounting hole and the
spacer on the faucet stud (see assembled view). Then
turn the hex nut up to the spacer and tighten. Tighten
the hex nut so the faucet cannot move, but do not
overtighten.
