Installation - Culligan US-3UF Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

INSTALLATION

• Consult your local plumbing codes and install accordingly.
• If your sink does not have a pre-drilled hole, go to step 1, if your sink does have a pre-drilled hole,
go to step 3.
NOTE: The faucet should be positioned with function, convenience and appearance in mind. An adequate
flat area is required to allow faucet base to rest securely. Most sinks have pre-drilled 1-3⁄8˝ or 1-1⁄2˝
diameter holes that may be used for faucet installation. If these pre-drilled holes cannot be used or are
in an inconvenient location, it will be necessary to drill a hole in the sink to accommodate the faucet.
NOTE: DO NOT DRILL THROUGH AN ALL-PORCELAIN OR CAST IRON SINK. If installing on an
all-porcelain or cast iron sink, the faucet must be mounted in a pre-drilled sprayer hole or through
the countertop next to the sink. If the countertop must be drilled, make certain that the area below the
drilling location is free of wiring and pipes. Also, make sure that there is sufficient room to make the
proper connections to the bottom of the faucet mount.
NOTE: Consult with a plumber or the countertop manufacturer for assistance with drilling through
countertops more than 1˝ thick or if it is made of tile, marble, granite, or similar material.

CAUTION: The use of safety glasses and
respirator for this procedure is recommended.
In order to prevent parts and materials from
falling down the drain, line the sink with
newspaper or a towel.
Place masking tape over the area to be drilled
to prevent scratches if drill bit slips.

Using a pencil, mark the drill hole. Drill a hole
for faucet (most sinks have 1-3⁄8˝ or 1-1⁄2˝
