Installation Guide

Your new Design House faucet will give you years of trouble free performance. Thank you for
choosing our product for your home. Please read all of these instructions carefully before
installing your new faucet.
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.
