- STEP 2: INSTALL DRAIN ADAPTER -

■ 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.

■ The drain adapter fits 1-1/2" sink drain pipe,
■ The adapter installs directly onto the sink tailpiece

as typically shown in FIG. 4 and 5.

■ 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 wfll 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 wiU 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.
