Warning! Avoid contact of plastic parts with plumber’s putty, pipe dope, or

any other oil based compound. Use a silicon, acrylic, or latex based sealant

where needed.

3. Secure the faucet to the sink by installing the steel

washer and mounting nut onto the body from underside

of sink. Tighten mounting nut with the locking screws.

1. Shut off water supplies. Remove old faucet. Clean

sink surface in preparation for new faucet.

6. Turn on water supply valves and check for leaks on

supply lines and connection lines.

4. Install sprayer (optional). After faucet is installed,

position sprayer support in far right hole in sink. Insert

spray hose down through the support. Secure the

sprayer seat to the sink by threading the lock nut onto

the mounting stud. Hand tighten the lock nut onto the

spray seat. Under the sink, connect the spray hose to

the connection on the faucet.

5A. Stainless steel braided faucet supply tubes: This is

the simplest of all installations. If you are using

stainless steel braided faucet supply tubes, this faucet

requires one end of the supply tube to have a ½”

female IPS connection. The other end of this supply

tube must match the thread on the water supply fittings

or shut off valve under your sink. Once you have

identified the required tube, carefully follow the

manufacturer’s installation instructions for each tube.

Note: when looking at the faucet the left pipe is the Hot

water side, the right pipe is the Cold water side.

5B. Flexible supply lines with 3/8” OD: If you are using

flexible supply lines to connect the faucet to the water

supply, slip the coupling nut behind the ball-nose of the

flexible supply tube. The ball nose will go partially into

the IPS shank or fitting. Tighten the coupling nut (DO

NOT OVER TIGHTEN). Install the opposite end to your

water supply according to the manufacturer’s

instructions for both tubes. Note: when looking at the

faucet the left pipe is the Hot water side, the right pipe is

the Cold water side.

2. Before installation, remove the steel washer and the

mounting nut from the faucet. If installing the faucet

with the escutcheon, begin with step ①. If installing the

faucet with base, begin with step ②. ① Place

escutcheon and plate on bottom of new faucet and

position on sink. Position faucet through center

mounting hole. ② Position base on bottom of faucet

body. Insert faucet and base through single mounting

hole.

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.

Re-install aerator.

Do not over tighten.
