choosing our product for your home. Please read all of these instructions carefully before
installing your new faucet.
Helpful tools to install this faucet:
IMPORTANT POINTS
When installing your new faucet, hand tighten the connector nuts, then use one wrench to
anchor the fitting and a second wrench to tighten the nut one additional turn. Connections that
are too tight will reduce the integrity of the system.
Wrap threaded connections (except aerator thread in spout or where o-ring or rubber sealant
are present) with Teflon tape available from your local hardware or plumbing supply store.
Always wrap in a clockwise direction.
SAFETY TIPS
ALWAYS protect your eyes with safety glasses.
CONSUMER PROTECTION WARNING

amount of lead used in brass and solder. Your new faucet is made in strict compliance with
all government standards. The materials used in the manufacture of this faucet are of industry
standard quality and are similar to other plumbing products having brass fittings.
To reduce the amount of lead in your drinking water, allow the water to run for a moment before
filling your glass and remember to always use cold water for drinking purposes.
Your new Design House faucet is designed to give you years of trouble free performance. Keep it looking
new by cleaning it periodically with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool and harsh chemicals
that will dull the finish and void your warranty
Brass finishes are polished, then protected with a lacquer coating to help prevent tarnishing. Clean these
surfaces only with a damp, soft cloth.
