Notice
The drinking water faucet should be positioned with function, convenience, and
appearance in mind. An adequate flat area is required to allow faucet base to rest securely.
The faucet fits through a 3/4-inch (19mm) hole. Most sinks have pre-drilled 1-inch
(35 or 38mm) diameter holes that may be used for faucet.
a) Line bottom of sink with newspaper to prevent metal shavings, parts, or tools from
falling down drain.
b) Place masking tape over the area to be drilled to prevent scratches if drill bit slips.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the sink, consult a qualified plumber or installer for
drilling procedures in porcelain, granite, or stainless steel.

b) Install mounting screws at least 15-inches (380mm) from cabinet floor and
9 1/4-inches (235mm) apart. Place system over screws on wall and slide sideways.
