To disconnect:
1. Remove the blue Lock Clip.
2. With the blue lock clip removed, use your thumb and index finger to hold down the lock
sleeve. This will release the metal teeth holding the tube in place. While holding the lock sleeve
down with that hand, use your other hand to remove the tube from the fitting.
How to drill a hole on sink or counter-top
1. It’s highly recommended that you watch the YouTube video “How To Drill Faucet Holes”.
2. Choose a half inch Diamond Core Bit for granite or a titanium drill bit for steel. Do NOT use a
hammer drill on nature stone, glass, and ceramic.
3. An indent should be made with a punch on steel before drilling to help guide the bit.
4. Use caution when drilling on a Porcelain sink, as it could be easily chipped. Set drill speed on
slow. Press the bit downward firmly until breaking through the slippery surface.
5. Use coolant to disperse heat. Choose water for granite, and oil for steel. Use Water Suction Cup
to hold coolant inside and prevent the drill bit from slipping.
6. Starting at slowest speed, hold the drill firmly and vertically and prevent the drill bit from
slipping on the counter.
7. Once breaking through the smooth surface, swirl the drill a little to apply pressure in a circle
evenly.
8. Be patient and deliberate. It can take 20 – 40 minutes to drill through one inch.
