CAUTION: Do not drill through a counter top that is more than 1” thick.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to drill through a tiled, marble, granite or similar countertop. Consult
a plumber or the countertop manufacturer for advice or assistance
CAUTION: When drilling through a countertop make sure the area below the drilled area is free
of wiring and piping. Make certain that you have ample room to make the proper
connection to the bottom of the faucet.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to drill through an all-porcelain or porcelain-coated sink. For
applications on these types of sinks we recommend using the sprayer hole or
mounting the faucet through the countertop. Otherwise consult a plumber or
manufacturer for advice or assistance.
1. Line the bottom of the sink with newspaper to prevent
shavings, parts, or tools from falling down the drain.
2. Place masking tape over the area to be drilled to help
prevent scratches if drill bit slips.
3. Mark point with a center punch. Use a ¼” drill bit to drill
a pilot hole
4. Use a 1¼” hole saw to enlarge the hole. Smooth rough
edges with a file.
1. Connect the ¼” black drain tube up to the ¼” fitting
on the air gap faucet.
2. Then connect the ⁄” black tubing to the ⁄ fitting on
the air gap faucet.
NOTE: Make sure the tubing is pushed all the way to the
end of the fitting
NOTE: The ⁄” black drain tube goes by gravity feed to
the saddle drain clamp connection. Make sure
there are no kinks, loops, or sharp bends in the
⁄” black tubing. Failure to make a straight line to
the drain may result in reject water leaking
through the air gap in the faucet onto the
countertop or below the faucet.
