Mount the Faucet for Filtered Water
NOTE: The Faucet for Filtered Water in this package is designed to fit a 9/16" hole. Most standard sinks come with 1-3/8" or 1-1/2" diameter
water sprayer holes that can be used for mounting the Faucet. If the pre-drilled holes cannot be used or are not in the desired position, a new
hole must be drilled using either a 9/16" or 5/8" drill bit to accommodate the Faucet. The Faucet for Filtered Water base should be positioned
securely on a flat surface with adequate space for proper function. Consider convenience and appearance of the faucet before installation.
