1) Turn off the cold water supply to the sink faucet by locating
the round or oblong handle and turning clockwise until the
water supply is off.
NOTE: If the cold water shut off valve fails to turn off the
water, the house supply can be turned off at the main water
supply.
2) The water supply adapter may be installed at the faucet
connection.
3) Disconnect the 3/8" flex line from the base of cold water basin
supply angle stop valve.
4) Re-connect the 3/8" 3-way ball valve to the basin supply angle
stop valve.
5) Re-connect flex line to the 3-way ball valve .
6) Push green tubbing in to Quick Connect fitting up to tube
stop. Pull on the tubing to check it is secure. Test the system
before use.
NOTE: All local plumbing codes must be followed to ensure
proper installation and use of your system.
CAUTION: A pressure regulator is recommended for
feedwater pressure above 60psi.
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.
2) Phillips head screwdriver.
3) Adjustable crescent wrench.
4) Basin wrench.
5) ¼" drill bit for drain clamp.
Drilling the hole for the faucet
NOTE: SAFETY GLASSES SHOULD BE WORN TO
PROTECT YOUR EYES WHILE DRILLING THE FAUCET
WHOLE.
1) 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.
2) 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.

3) 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.
4) 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.
5) 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.
6) 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.
