Installation Sheet
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
6. IMPORTANT: After installation is
complete, remove the aerator to flush the
water lines. 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.
5. Making the waterline connections:
Use 1/2 in. I.P.S. faucet connections
(5B, not included), or use the supplied
coupling nuts (5C, not included) with a
3/8 in. O.D. ball-nose riser (5A, not
included). Before tightening the faucet
connector to the water supply, apply a
second wrench to the supply tube
fitting. This will prevent the supply tube
from moving or twisting when tightening
the faucet connector. Do not
overtighten.
4. Place the faucet assembly (4A) in
position on the sink. Secure the faucet
assembly to the sink using the mounting
nuts (4B) provided. Hand tighten only.
NOTE: If the sink is uneven, use silicone
under the gasket (4C).
1. Shut off water supplies. Remove the old
faucet. Place the gasket (1A) on the bottom
of the new faucet assembly. If your model
has a side sprayer, proceed to step 2. If
your model does not have a side sprayer,
skip to step 4.
2. Insert the sprayer support (2A) through
the far right hole on the sink. Screw the
sprayer mounting nut (2B) onto the
sprayer support (2A) shank from
underneath the sink, and hand tighten.
3. Insert the side sprayer (3A) hose down
through the sprayer support (3B) and sink.
Align the tabs (3C & 3D) on the quick
connects (3E). Push the quick connector
housing firmly upward and snap it onto the
receiving tube tab. Pull down moderately to
ensure the connection has been made. If it
is necessary to remove the quick connector,
squeeze the tabs on the hose, and pull down
to disconnect.
