Setup and Installation
Before You Begin
- Turn off the main water supply to the washbasin.
- Clear the work area under and around the washbasin.
- Gather necessary tools: adjustable wrench, screwdriver, plumber's tape, flashlight, basin wrench (if needed).
Installation Steps
- Prepare the Faucet: Insert the pressure hoses into the base of the faucet body. Ensure they are securely hand-tightened.
- Mount the Faucet: Place the faucet body through the single mounting hole on the washbasin. Ensure the faucet is correctly oriented.
- Secure the Faucet: From underneath the washbasin, slide the rubber washer, metal washer, and mounting nut onto the threaded shank of the faucet. Tighten the mounting nut firmly with a basin wrench or adjustable wrench until the faucet is stable.
- Connect Water Supply: Connect the G 3/8" pressure hoses to the corresponding cold water supply lines. Use plumber's tape on the threads of the supply lines for a watertight seal. Tighten connections with an adjustable wrench, but do not overtighten.
- Check for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for leaks. If leaks are detected, turn off the water supply and re-tighten the connections.
- Test Operation: Once all connections are secure and leak-free, operate the faucet to ensure proper water flow.

Maintenance and Care

- Cleaning the Finish: Clean the chrome surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive soap. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, ammonia-based products, or cleaners containing bleach, acids, or alcohol, as these can damage the chrome finish.
- Aerator Maintenance: If water flow becomes restricted, the aerator (M18 x 1) may be clogged with debris. Unscrew the aerator from the spout, clean any sediment or mineral deposits, and rinse thoroughly before reattaching.
