Step-by-step installation instructions.

Faucet Installation

Be sure there is room underneath the sink to make the
needed connections. Select one of the following places to
install the faucet:
—IN an existing sink spray attachment or soap dispenser
hole.
—IN a hole to be drilled in the sink top.
—IN a hole to be drilled in the countertop, next to the sink.
NOTE: Looking at Fig. 4B, be sure the faucet base will fit
flat against the surface at the selected location so the gasket
will seal.
If drilling is needed, make a 1-1 ⁄ 4 ² dia. hole.
