Install Faucet
Prepare mounting hole:
1. Select one of the *\_llowing places for the faucet. Be sure it will fit fiat against the surface, and there
is space underneath for tubing (see Figure 9).
• Use an existing sink top hole for a spray hose or other faucet. A 1- 1/4" diameter hole is needed.
• Drill a new hole in the countertop next to the sink.
• Drill a new hole in the sink top.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging a sink beyond repair, consult a qualified plumber or installer
for guides to drill holes in porcelain or stainless steel.
2. Drill a 1-1/4" diameter hole, if necessary.
3. Place plumbers putty around the drilled hole (Figures 6 and 7) to prevent water leakage around
the base of the faucet.
