F. Make the faucet mounting hole Procedure: 1) Mark the center for the 9/16" hole. 2) Form a shallow putty dam around the hole area and fill it with enough water to lubricate the carbide drill bit. 3) Carefully drill a pilot hole through the porcelain/enamel and the base metal using a carbide type pilot drill. Important: Always operate the drill with light pressure at a slow speed (300-400 rpm). 4) Insert the pilot tip of the spring-loaded porcelain cutter into the pilot hole.
I. Installing the feed water valve J. Make tubing connections The saddle tapping valve which is supplied is designed to be used on 3/8” - 1/2” OD soft copper tubing (plain or chromed) and rigid metal pipe. Do not use with flexible ribbed tubing because it requires special hardware. Optional feed valves should be used for this purpose. NOTE: With all of the components in place, the tubing connections can be made. Be sure to arrange the tubing so that there are no sharp bends.
