4.1. Prepare the Installation Area

- Clear the area under the sink for easy access.
- If replacing an old faucet, remove it and clean the sink surface thoroughly.
4.2. Faucet Installation
- Insert the faucet body into the single mounting hole on the sink or countertop.
- From underneath the sink, secure the faucet using the provided mounting hardware (washer and nut). Ensure the faucet is properly aligned before tightening.
- Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the corresponding inlets on the faucet. Use thread sealant tape on threaded connections to prevent leaks.
- Connect the bar closure hose as per the diagram (if applicable, specific diagram not provided in data).
- Ensure all connections are hand-tight, then use a wrench for a final quarter-turn to secure, being careful not to overtighten.

- Check all connections for leaks. If leaks are present, gently tighten the connection until the leak stops.

5. Operating Instructions
The Phylrich K8200_014 bar faucet features a single handle for controlling both water flow and temperature.
- To Turn On/Off: Lift the handle to turn on the water. Push the handle down to turn off the water.
- To Adjust Water Flow: The height to which you lift the handle controls the water volume.
- To Adjust Temperature: Move the handle left for hot water and right for cold water. The further you move it, the hotter or colder the water will become.
6. Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Phylrich faucet.
- Cleaning: Clean the polished nickel finish regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Aerator Maintenance: If water flow decreases, the aerator may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator from the spout, clean any debris, and rinse thoroughly before reattaching.
- Leak Prevention: Periodically check all connections under the sink for any signs of leaks. Tighten connections gently if necessary.
