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.

IMPORTANT POINTS

SAFETY TIPS

ALWAYS protect your eyes with safety glasses.

Helpful tools to install this faucet:

Teflon tape

(2) crescent wrenches

basin wrench

flashlight

faucet supply tubes

silicon sealer

1. Shut off water supplies. Remove the

old faucet. Place the gasket (1A) onto

the bottom of the new faucet assembly.

Place the faucet assembly through the

mounting holes in sink. Secure the

faucet assembly to sink using the

mounting nuts (1B) provided.

Note: If the sink is uneven, use silicone

under the gasket (1A).

2. Making the waterline connections:

Use 1/2 in. I.P.S. faucet connections

(2B, not included), or use the supplied

coupling nuts (2C) with a 3/8 in. O.D.

ball-nose riser (2A, not included). Use

wrenches when tightening. Do not

overtighten.

3. IMPORTANT: After installation is

complete, remove the aerator to flush the

water lines.

Do not remove the gasket (3A)

in the aerator

. Turn on the water supply

and allow both hot and cold water to run

for at least one minute each. This flushes

away any debris that could cause damage

to internal parts. While the water is

running, check for leaks. Turn off the water

and replace the aerator.

Brass finishes are polished, then protected with a PVD or a lacquer coating to help prevent tarnishing.

Clean these surfaces only with a damp, soft cloth.

Your new Design House faucet is designed to give you years of trouble free performance. Avoid abrasive

cleaners, steel wool and harsh chemicals that will dull the finish and void your warranty.

CONSUMER PROTECTION WARNING

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.

Under the Safe Drinking Water Act, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency restricts the

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.

Keep it looking like new by cleaning it periodically with a mild solution of soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and

then dry with a soft cloth.
