5. Installation
The GROHE Grandera Basin Faucet is designed for single-hole, deck-mount installation. Follow these general steps for installation. Refer to the included technical drawing for specific dimensions and connection details.
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Installation Area: Ensure the basin hole is clean and free of debris. Turn off the main water supply.
- Mount the Faucet: Insert the faucet body through the mounting hole in the basin. Ensure any included gaskets or seals are correctly positioned between the faucet base and the basin surface.
- Secure the Faucet: From underneath the basin, slide the rubber washer, metal washer, and mounting nut onto the threaded shank of the faucet. Tighten the mounting nut securely using the appropriate tool, ensuring the faucet is aligned correctly.
- Connect Water Supply Lines: Attach the flexible hot and cold water supply lines to the corresponding inlets on the faucet body. Connect the other ends of the supply lines to your hot and cold water shut-off valves. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench for a final quarter-turn, being careful not to overtighten.
- Check for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply. Inspect all connections for any signs of leaks. If leaks are detected, gently tighten the connections until they stop.
- Flush the 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, and test the faucet.

- Rinse and Dry: After cleaning, always rinse the faucet thoroughly with clean water and dry it with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and maintain its shine.
- Aerator Maintenance: Periodically unscrew the aerator from the spout and clean any mineral deposits or debris that may have accumulated. This helps maintain optimal water flow.
