4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to install your Danco Swivel Sprayrator:
- Turn off Water Supply: Locate the shut-off valves under your sink and turn them clockwise to stop the water flow to the faucet.
- Remove Existing Aerator: Unscrew the existing aerator from your faucet spout. This may require an aerator wrench or pliers. If using pliers, wrap the aerator with a cloth to prevent scratching.
- Clean Faucet Spout: Clean any debris or mineral buildup from the inside and outside of the faucet spout threads.
- Identify Thread Size: The Danco Swivel Sprayrator is designed for faucets with 15/16 inch male threads or 55/64 inch female threads. Ensure your faucet matches one of these sizes.
- Install Swivel Sprayrator: Carefully thread the Danco Swivel Sprayrator onto the faucet spout. Turn clockwise until hand-tight. Do not over-tighten with tools, as this can damage the threads or the aerator.
- Restore Water Supply: Slowly turn the water supply valves counter-clockwise to restore water flow. Check for leaks around the connection point. If leaks occur, gently tighten the aerator a bit more.
5. Operating Instructions
The Danco Swivel Sprayrator offers versatile water delivery:
- Switching Modes: To switch between the aerated stream and the wide spray pattern, gently pull down on the head of the sprayrator. Push it back up to return to the original mode.
- Swivel Function: The head of the sprayrator can be swiveled 360 degrees, allowing you to direct the water flow precisely where needed in your sink.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your Swivel Sprayrator:
- Cleaning: Periodically unscrew the sprayrator and clean any mineral deposits or debris from the screen and internal components. A soft brush and a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water can be used for stubborn mineral buildup. Rinse thoroughly with clean water before reattaching.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the sprayrator for any signs of wear, damage, or leaks. Address any issues promptly to prevent further problems.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Danco Swivel Sprayrator, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low water flow | Clogged aerator screen or internal components. | Remove and clean the aerator. Soak in vinegar solution if mineral buildup is present. |
| Leaking at connection point | Aerator not tightened sufficiently or damaged washer. | Gently tighten the aerator by hand. If leaking persists, check the washer for proper seating or damage. |
| Difficulty switching between stream/spray or not holding position | Internal mechanism wear or mineral buildup. | Clean the aerator thoroughly. If the issue persists, the internal mechanism may be worn, and replacement might be necessary. |
