Step 1: Mounting the Faucet
Faucet may be installed in 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 counter top by applying a layer of masking
tape and use a sharp drill.
3.
Insert faucet shank through escutcheon plate (1040-9) and
escutcheon washer (1040-10), and then through counter top
(See Fig. 3). Install plastic locating washer (1040-12), lock
washer (1040-13) and locking nut (1040-14). 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) 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.
