Step 1: Mounting the Faucet
Faucet may be installed in existing hole in sink if available or in counter top.
Note:
The faucet may also be installed in the sink sprayer hole if available.
1.
Position faucet on counter top beside sink in desired position. Ensure that swivel spout will
extend over sink and that there is room under the counter for faucet shank and to tighten
nuts.
2.
Mark the location and drill a ½” hole (Fig 2). Protect your laminate counter top by applying
a layer of masking tape and use a sharp drill bit.
Caution:
For granite or other stone
countertops, hole should be drilled only by a professional. Do not attempt to do this
yourself to prevent breakage.
3.
Insert faucet shank through escutcheon washer (1050-10), and then through counter top
(See Fig 4). From under the sink, install 1050-11 large washer, plastic washer (1050-12), metal lock washer (1050-13)
and locking nut (1050-14) as shown in fig 3. Using a wrench, tighten locking nut securely while someone holds the
faucet body so it does not turn. Place adaptor washer (1040-16) inside 3/8” adapter (1040-15) (Fig 4) and tighten
adaptor securely on to the faucet shank with a wrench.
Note
:
Do not use any thread sealant or tape on the faucet
shank.
Step 2: Mounting the Unit
1.
Locate best position for mounting unit undersink near faucet. Mark mounting
bracket screw locations using mounting bracket (2565) as a template (Fig 5).
Use a level to align holes parallel to cabinet base.
Note:
LEAVE
MINIMUM OF
18 INCHES
CLEARANCE from the top edge of the bracket to the cabinet floor.
THE HIGHER AND CLOSER TO THE FRONT YOU MOUNT THE UNIT THE
BETTER FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE.
2.
Partially screw the 2 mounting bracket screws (1011-0) into screw locations. Install mounting bracket and head
assembly over screw heads. Use a level to make sure bracket is level and tighten screws.
Note:
If wall is too thin to
accept screws then use round head nuts and bolts (not supplied) to mount bracket.
Step 3: Connecting the faucet
Measure and cut a length from plastic tubing (1009-0) to
connect faucet to the OUTLET fitting (2553). Make sure to
leave enough tube for connecting supply valve to INLET.
Note:
Use only a sharp knife to cut the tube straight
(Fig 6). Using a saw or cutting the tube at an angle can
cause the fitting to leak.
Slide compression nut (720-0) and compression sleeve (721-1) (with narrow end towards faucet)
onto tube and put tube insert (722-0) into tube as shown in Fig 7. Push tube into end of adaptor
(1040-15) and hold firmly in place. Now tighten nut securely with a wrench. Pull tube to check secure connection.
Remove the red clip on the OUTLET Acculink
TM
fitting (2553) and connect the other end of tubing to it by pushing the tube
into the fitting until it touches the tube stop and cannot go in any further (Fig 8A). Replace lock ring. Push the remaining
tube into the INLET fitting the same way.
Note:
To remove tubing from the fitting, press the collet in with two fingers while
pulling tube out (Fig 8B). Without pressing the collet, the tubing will stay locked in position. Pull tube to check secure
connection.
