Setup and Installation
This faucet is designed for single-hole deck-mount installation and connects to an external water filtration system (sold separately).
Tools Required (Not Included):
- Adjustable wrench
- Basin wrench (if needed for tight spaces)
- Drill with appropriate bit (if drilling a new hole)
- Plumber's putty or silicone sealant
- Teflon tape
Pre-Installation:
- Turn off the main water supply to your kitchen sink.
- Clear the area under the sink to allow for easy access.
- If replacing an existing faucet, remove it and clean the mounting surface.
- Ensure the mounting hole on your countertop is suitable for a single-hole faucet.
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Faucet: Apply a thin bead of plumber's putty or silicone sealant around the base of the faucet where it will meet the countertop.
- Mount the Faucet: Insert the faucet shank through the mounting hole in the countertop. Ensure the faucet is properly oriented.
- Secure from Below: From underneath the sink, slide the rubber washer, then the metal washer, and finally the mounting nut onto the faucet shank. Hand-tighten the nut, then use a basin wrench or adjustable wrench to firmly secure the faucet to the countertop. Do not overtighten.
- Connect to Filtration System: Attach the water supply line from your Everpure filtration system to the inlet connection on the faucet shank. Use Teflon tape on threaded connections and tighten securely with a wrench. Refer to your filtration system's manual for specific connection details.
- Check for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for leaks. If leaks are present, tighten the connections slightly until they stop.
- Flush the System: Open the faucet handle and allow water to run for several minutes to flush out any air or debris from the lines.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your faucet:
- Cleaning: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Aerator Maintenance: If water flow becomes restricted, the aerator may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator from the tip of the spout, clean any debris, and rinse thoroughly before reattaching.
- Filter Replacement: This faucet is part of a filtration system. Refer to your Everpure water filtration system's manual for instructions on filter replacement schedules and procedures.
