2. Selecting the Faucet Location
NOTE: The drinking water faucet should be positioned with
function, convenience, and appearance in mind. An adequate
flat area is required to allow faucet base to rest securely. The
faucet fits through a 3/4-inch hole. Most sinks have pre-drilled
1 ⁄ -inch or 1 ⁄ -inch diameter holes that may be used for faucet

installation. If these pre-drilled holes cannot be used or are in
an inconvenient location, it will be necessary to drill a 3/4-inch
hole in the sink to accommodate the faucet.
This procedure may generate dust which can cause
severe irritation if inhaled or comes in contact with the eyes.
The use of safety glasses and respirator for this procedure is
recommended.
Do not attempt to drill through an all-porcelain sink. If
you have an all-porcelain sink, mount the faucet in pre-drilled
sprayer hole or drill through countertop next to sink.
When drilling through a countertop, make sure
the area below the drilled area is free of wiring and piping.
Make certain that you have ample room to make the proper
connections to the bottom of the faucet.
Do not drill through a countertop that is more than
one-inch thick.
Do not attempt to drill through a tiled, marble, granite
or similar countertop. Consult a plumber or the countertop
manufacturer for advice or assistance.
A. Line bottom of sink with newspaper to prevent metal
shavings, parts, or tools from falling down drain.
B. Place masking tape over the area to be drilled to help
prevent scratches if drill bit slips.
C. Mark hole with center punch. Use a 1/4-inch drill bit for a
pilot hole.
D. Using a 3/4-inch drill bit, drill a hole completely through the
sink. Smooth the rough edges with a file.
3. Mounting the Faucet
A. Place the decorative escutcheon plate over the threaded
shaft followed by the flat rubber washer.
B. Slide the threaded shaft into the hole on the sink top.
C. The locating washer is positioned with the center facing
down. If the hole is 1/2-inch or larger the locating washer
is turned over. The center of the washer will position the
faucet in the hole.
D. Place the star washer and the lock nut onto the threads and
finger tighten.
E. Place the faucet in final position and tighten the lock nut
until the faucet is secure.
