Tools Required - Waterworld New Millennium Installation & Service Manual

Tools Required:

1) Hand drill for faucet hole. Use the appropriate bit for the surface you are
drilling. (½" for non air gap faucets and - 7/8" drill bit for air gap ones).
A) Titanium bit for metal sinks.
B) Glass and tile bit or Relton cutter for porcelain sinks.
C) Diamond core bit for granite.

DRILLING THE HOLE FOR THE FAUCET
NOTE: SAFETY GLASSES SHOULD BE WORN TO PROTECT YOUR EYES WHILE DRILLING
THE FAUCET WHOLE.
6) For best results, a 1/2" drill bit for a non air gap faucet or 7/8" dill bit for an air gap faucet
should be used to drill a hole into your sink for the auxiliary faucet.
7) Carefully select the faucet location making sure it will have a neat water fall pattern and
that the faucet stud will be accessible from below once the whole is completed.
8) For Porcelain Sink: Before starting the drill motor, apply firm downward pressure on the
bit until a crunching occurs. This will help keep the drill from moving when starting the
hole. Use a special porcelain hole cutter.
9) For Stainless Steel Sink: Before using the selected bit, an indent should be made with a
center punch to keep the drill bit from moving. A small pilot hole will also aid the
drill process.
10) For best results, keep steady firm pressure while drilling the hole. Too little pressure
during the start will cause excess wear on the bit and progress will be slow.
11) Once the hole is complete, clean the area of metal chips and roughness around the hole.
Metal chips will stain porcelain.
Warning: It is highly recommended for granite slate countertops, to use the assistance
of a licensed professional to drill the hole for the faucet. Serious damage can occur to the
counter if done by an inexperienced person.
