Step 2: Install Drain Adapter; Step 3: Install Faucet - Kenmore 625.38575 Owner's Manual

- STEP 2: INSTALL DRAIN ADAPTER -
• Note: Running the drain tubing directly to a floor
drain, sump, standpipe, laundry tub, etc., as shown
on page 17, is preferred. However, if that is not pos-
sible or practical, the included drain adapter installs
in the sink drain pipe, always above or ahead of the
p-trap, Figure 4. Be sure to comply with your local
plumbing codes. Other drain pipe fittings, in addi-
tion to the adapter, may be needed.
• The drain adapter fits 1-1/2" sink drain pipe.
• The adapter installs directly onto the sink tailpiece
as typically shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5.
• Locate so drain tubing from the faucet makes a
straight run to the adapter, without dips, loops, low
spots or kinks.
Note: Consult a plumber if you are not familiar with
plumbing procedures.
1. Use a ferrule and nut to assemble the drain tubing
connector to the drain adapter (Figure 5). Turn the
connector to about 45 ° from the 12:00 position, as
shown (to 10:00 or 2:00 position as needed). Tighten
the nut securely.
2. Carefully disassemble the sink drain pipe and
clean the tailpiece to assure a leak-tight fit.
3. Install the drain adapter onto the sink tailpiece,
using a ferrule and nut. Snug the nut, but do not
tighten.
Note: If needed, to make fit, you can cut to shorten the
unthreaded end of the adapter. Do not cut too short
so the adapter will make a leak-tight seal with the
connecting fitting.
4. Assemble the p- trap to the drain adapter, and oth-
er drain pipe fittings as required (check codes) to
complete the drain run.
5. Tighten all connections, but do not overtighten and
break plastic fittings.

- STEP 3: INSTALL FAUCET -
A. PREPARE MOUNTING HOLE
1. Select one of the following places for the faucet. Be
sure it will fit flat against the surface, and there is
space underneath for tubing (see Figure 8, page 8).
J Use an existing sink top hole for a spray hose or
other faucet. A 1-1/4" diameter hole is needed.
0 Drill a new hole in the countertop next to the sink.
0 Drill a new hole in the sink top.
CAUTION: Drilling holes into countertops made of
stone or solid surface materials such as granite,
marble, Corian T_ or other plastic resin products or
sinks made of porcelain and stainless steel should
only be performed by a fabricator installer who is cer-
tified for fabricating such materials. Drilling of these
type surfaces by any other means may cause perma-
nent, irreparable damage to the countertop surface.
2. If drilling is needed, make the 1-1/4" diameter
hole.
