Setup and Installation
Before beginning installation, ensure you have all necessary tools and components. It is recommended to consult a professional plumber if you are unsure about any steps.
Tools Required:
- Adjustable wrench
- Plumber's putty or silicone sealant
- Phillips head screwdriver
- Basin wrench (optional, for tight spaces)
- Safety glasses
Installation Steps:
- Turn off Water Supply: Locate the main water shut-off valve for your home or the shut-off valves under the sink. Turn them off completely.
- Remove Old Faucet (if applicable): Disconnect the water supply lines from the old faucet. Unscrew the mounting nuts and remove the old faucet and drain assembly. Clean the sink surface thoroughly.
- Install New Faucet Body: Apply a thin bead of plumber's putty or silicone sealant around the base of the new faucet spout and handles. Insert the faucet body and handles into the corresponding holes on the sink or countertop.
- Secure Faucet: From underneath the sink, thread the mounting nuts onto the faucet shanks and hand-tighten. Use an adjustable wrench to tighten securely, but do not overtighten.
- Connect Water Supply Lines: Attach the hot and cold water supply lines to the corresponding inlets on the faucet shanks. Ensure connections are tight to prevent leaks.
- Install Drain Assembly: Follow the instructions provided with the included drain. Typically, this involves applying sealant to the drain flange, inserting it into the sink drain hole, and securing it from underneath with a washer and nut. Connect the drain tailpiece to your P-trap.
- Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for leaks. If leaks are present, tighten the connections as needed.
- Flush 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.
Operating Instructions
Your Phylrich Lavatory Faucet is designed for ease of use and reliable performance.
Water Flow and Temperature Control:
- Cold Water: Turn the right lever handle counter-clockwise to open the cold water supply.
- Hot Water: Turn the left lever handle counter-clockwise to open the hot water supply.
- Mixing Water: Adjust both lever handles to achieve your desired water temperature and flow rate.
- Shutting Off: Turn the lever handles clockwise until the water flow stops completely.
Drain Operation:
The included drain assembly typically operates via a lift rod located at the back of the faucet. Pull the rod up to close the drain stopper and push it down to open the drain.
Maintenance and Care
Proper care and maintenance will ensure the lasting beauty and performance of your Phylrich faucet.
Cleaning:
- Clean the faucet regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap.
- Do NOT use abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or polishes containing alcohol, ammonia, or bleach, as these can damage the polished finish.
- Rinse thoroughly after cleaning and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
Aerator Maintenance:
- If water flow becomes restricted or uneven, the aerator may be clogged.
- Unscrew the aerator from the end of the spout.
- Rinse any debris from the screen. For stubborn mineral deposits, soak the aerator in a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water.
- Reattach the aerator securely.
Troubleshooting
Refer to the following table for common issues and their solutions.
