4. Installation

The Kingston Brass KS8105DL+ Pot Filler requires a single-hole wall mount installation. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Prepare Water Supply: Turn off the main water supply to your kitchen. Open a nearby faucet to relieve any pressure in the lines.
2. Determine Mounting Location: Choose a suitable location on the wall above your stovetop, ensuring it allows for the full 21-1/2 inch spout reach and 4-inch spout clearance. The mounting point should be structurally sound to support the faucet's weight and operation.
3. Install Water Line: Ensure a 1/2-inch-14 NPS male threaded inlet is available at the chosen mounting point. If not, a qualified plumber should install one.
4. Mount the Faucet:
   • Apply plumber's tape to the threads of the water inlet pipe extending from the wall.
   • Thread the pot filler's base onto the water inlet pipe. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench to secure it, ensuring the faucet is level and oriented correctly. Do not overtighten.
   • Position the wall mount flange/escutcheon against the wall, covering the connection point. Secure it if necessary with provided screws or sealant.
5. Check for Leaks: Slowly turn the main water supply back on. Inspect all connections for leaks. If leaks are detected, turn off the water supply and re-tighten connections as needed.
6. Flush the System: Before first use, open the pot filler's handle and allow water to run for a few minutes to flush out any debris from the water lines.

Professional installation is recommended for optimal performance and to ensure compliance with local plumbing codes.

5. Operation

Operating your Concord Pot Filler is straightforward:

• Extend the Spout: Gently pull the articulated arms away from the wall to extend the spout over your pot or cooking vessel. The spout offers a 360-degree turn and a maximum reach of 21-1/2 inches from the wall.
• Turn Water On/Off: The pot filler features a 1/4 turn ceramic cartridge mechanism. Rotate the handle to turn the water on or off.
• Retract the Spout: After use, gently push the articulated arms back towards the wall until the pot filler is in its folded, compact position.

The maximum flow rate is 1.8 gallons per minute (GPM) at 60 PSI, designed to efficiently fill pots while conserving water.

6. Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the lasting beauty and performance of your Kingston Brass pot filler:

• Cleaning: Clean the surface regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots.
• Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, ammonia-based cleaners, or any cleaners containing bleach, acids, or alcohol. These can damage the oil rubbed bronze finish and void your warranty.
• Ceramic Disc Cartridge: The pot filler is equipped with a durable ceramic disc cartridge, which typically requires no maintenance. If you experience persistent drips or leaks, the cartridge may need replacement. Consult a plumber or Kingston Brass support.
