Step by step instructions to mount and secure the supplied dispenser/faucet
Professional Installation is Strongly Recommended
Step 1:
Locate Faucet Parts Bag
Parts Included:
faucet body with handle, faucet spout with tip, decorative washer, black rubber
washer, white beveled washer, lock washer, hex nut, 1/4” tube insert sleeve,
1/4” plastic compression ferrule, 1/4” compression nut
Included
flat white washer (for use under decorative washer depending on hole/application)
Optional Parts:
air gap adaptor (white) for use with RO air gap applications
Preferred - Select a standard sink location to mount the faucet.
It is recommended that the faucet be placed in a hole provided on most sinks similar to the ones used for a
sprayer, soap dispenser and/or dishwasher air gap. If the hole or space is unavailable, an alternative location
will be required:
NON-AIR GAP:
MINIMUM HOLE REQUIRED 1/2”,
MAXIMUM 1 3/8”
AIR GAP:
MINIMUM HOLE REQUIRED 1 1/4”, MAXIMUM 1 3/8”
Option A:
On the sink. This option is to drill a new hole into the sink rim itself, if space allows.
Option B:
On the countertop next to a sink. This option is to position the faucet spout in the
correct location to drain into the sink. This requires a clearance around the faucet
both above and below the countertop. Use the supplied dispenser as a template or
see the enclosed dispenser schematic and dispenser dimensions.
Prepare to drill the hole using the dispenser as a template.
• Sinks can be made of, but not limited to, stainless steel, copper, porcelain/steel, enamel/cast iron,
man-made surfaces, stone, concrete, and/or materials known or unknown at this time.
• Countertops can be made of, but not limited to, or be a combination of, natural stone, enamel,
porcelain, concrete, wood, metals and/or man-made materials known or unknown at this time.
CAUTION:
Please consult with the sink or countertop manufacture, supplier, fabricator, or
installer for proper drilling techniques and methods.
EXTREME CARE MUST BE TAKEN IN DRILLING THE HOLE FOR ANY SURFACE. THE SURFACE MATE-
RIALS OF SINKS AND COUNTERTOPS CAN CHIP OR CRACK. THE MANUFACTURER ASSUMES NO
RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE RESULTING FROM THIS INSTALLATION.
WARNING:
USE SAFETY GLASSES OR OTHER EYE PROTECTION WHEN GRINDING OR
DRILLING TO PREVENT POSSIBLE EYE INJURY DUE TO FLYING PARTICLES.
