Installation Instructions
- Turn off Water Supply: Locate the main water shut-off valve for your sink or the entire house and turn it off to prevent water flow during installation.
- Remove Old Handle: If replacing an existing handle, carefully remove it. This usually involves unscrewing a cap or a screw located under the handle or on its side.
- Clean Faucet Stem: Ensure the faucet stem (spline) is clean and free of debris or mineral buildup. This will ensure a secure fit for the new handle.
- Position New Handle: Align the Danco 88167 Faucet Handle with the faucet stem. The handle is designed to fit the Spline G15 model.
- Secure Handle: Place the handle onto the stem and secure it using the appropriate screw (typically provided with the faucet assembly or reused from the old handle). Do not overtighten.
- Test for Operation: Slowly turn the main water supply back on. Check the new handle for proper operation (turning smoothly) and inspect for any leaks.
Note: If you encounter difficulty or are unsure about any step, it is recommended to consult a qualified plumber.
Operating Instructions
To operate the Danco 88167 Faucet Handle, simply turn the knob in the desired direction to control the water flow and temperature (if applicable to your faucet type). Turn clockwise to decrease flow or turn off, and counter-clockwise to increase flow or turn on.
Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and functionality of your Danco 88167 Faucet Handle:
- Cleaning: Clean the handle regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can scratch the acrylic surface.
- Inspection: Periodically check the handle for any looseness. If it feels loose, gently tighten the mounting screw.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Handle is loose or wobbly. | Mounting screw is loose. | Gently tighten the mounting screw. Do not overtighten. |
| Handle does not turn smoothly. | Debris on faucet stem or internal mechanism. | Remove handle and clean the faucet stem. Ensure no obstructions. If problem persists, the faucet's internal cartridge may need servicing. |
| Water still drips after turning off. | This is typically a faucet cartridge issue, not the handle itself. | Consult a plumber or refer to your faucet's specific manual for cartridge replacement instructions. |
