Installation Guide

The Central Brass 0125-A faucet is designed for a two-hole, 6-inch centerset installation. Follow these steps for a smooth setup:

1. Prepare the Sink: Ensure the sink deck is clean and free of debris around the faucet holes.
2. Install Faucet Body: Place the faucet body onto the sink deck, aligning the two mounting shanks with the holes. Ensure any included gaskets are properly seated between the faucet base and the sink surface to create a watertight seal.
3. Secure Faucet: From underneath the sink, slide the rubber washer, then the metal washer, onto each mounting shank. Thread the mounting nuts onto the shanks and tighten them securely by hand, then use a wrench to snug them down, ensuring the faucet is stable and straight. Do not overtighten.
4. Connect Water Supply Lines: Attach the hot and cold water supply lines (not included) to the threaded inlets on the underside of the faucet body. Use a wrench to tighten connections, but avoid overtightening. Connect the other ends of the supply lines to your hot and cold water shut-off valves.
5. Install Handles: Place the handles onto their respective valve stems. Secure them according to the specific handle design (e.g., with a set screw or by threading a cap). Ensure the handles operate smoothly.
6. Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for leaks. If leaks are present, gently tighten the connections until they stop.
7. Flush the Faucet: Remove the aerator from the spout. Turn on both hot and cold water for a few minutes to flush out any debris from the lines. Turn off the water, reattach the aerator, and test the water flow.

Operating Instructions

Your Central Brass 0125-A faucet features two handles for precise control of water temperature and flow:

• Cold Water: Turn the right handle counter-clockwise to open the cold water supply.
• Hot Water: Turn the left handle counter-clockwise to open the hot water supply.
• Temperature Control: Adjust both handles simultaneously to achieve the desired water temperature.
• Flow Control: The further the handles are turned, the greater the water flow.
• Swivel Spout: The spout can be rotated 360 degrees for convenience in various sink configurations and tasks.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your chrome faucet:

• Cleaning: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for chrome finishes. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
• Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, ammonia-based cleaners, or bleach, as these can damage the chrome finish.
• Aerator Maintenance: If water flow becomes restricted, the aerator may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator from the end of the spout, clean any debris, and rinse it before reattaching.
• Leak Prevention: Periodically check all connections for any signs of leaks and tighten if necessary.
