FAUCET INSTALLATION
Drilling the Faucet Hole
NOTE: Safety glasses should be worn to protect your eyes while drilling the faucet hole.
Be sure there is room underneath the sink to make the needed connections. Select one of the
following locations to install the faucet:
• In an existing sink spray attachment or soap dispenser hole.
• In a hole to be drilled in the sink top.
• In a hole to be drilled in the countertop, next to the sink.
NOTE: Be sure the faucet base will fit flat against the surface at the selected location
so the gasket will seal.
1. For best results, a ½” carbide-tipped drill bit should be used to drill a hole into your sink for the
auxiliary faucet.
2. Carefully select the faucet location making sure it will have a neat water fall pattern and that the
faucet stud will be accessible from below once the hole is completed.
3. For Porcelain Sink: Before starting the drill motor, apply firm downward pressure on the bit until
a crunching occurs. This will help keep the drill bit from moving.
4. For Stainless Steel Sink: Before using a ½” carbide drill bit, an indent should be made with a center
punch to keep the drill bit from moving. A small pilot hole will also aid the ½” drill bit.
5. For best results, keep steady firm pressure during the start of the hole will cause excess wear on
the bit and progress will be slow.
6. Once the hole is complete, clean the area of metal chips and roughness around the hole. Metal
chips will stain
