Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Mounting Surface: Ensure the sink or countertop has a standard 1.375-inch diameter opening for single-hole faucet installation. Clean the area thoroughly.
- Install the Faucet: Place the faucet body through the mounting hole. Apply plumber's putty or silicone sealant around the base of the faucet if required by your sink type to ensure a watertight seal.
- Secure the Faucet: From underneath the sink, slide the rubber washer, metal washer, and mounting nut onto the threaded shank of the faucet. Tighten the mounting nut securely with an adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.
- Connect Water Supply Lines: Attach the 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. Ensure connections are hand-tight, then use a wrench for a final quarter-turn.
- Test for Leaks: Turn on the main water supply and check all connections for leaks. Operate the faucet to ensure proper function.

Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your VIGO faucet.
Cleaning the Finish:
- Clean the matte black finish with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish and void the warranty.
- Wipe the faucet dry after each use to prevent water spots and mineral buildup.
Aerator Maintenance:
The faucet is equipped with a mineral-resistant aerator. If water flow becomes restricted, the aerator may need cleaning.
- Remove the Aerator: Unscrew the aerator from the end of the spout. A coin or aerator key (if provided) may be needed.
- Clean the Aerator: Rinse the aerator components under running water. Use a soft brush or toothpick to remove any mineral deposits or debris from the screen.
- Reinstall the Aerator: Screw the cleaned aerator back into the spout, ensuring it is hand-tight. Do not overtighten.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your faucet, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low water flow | Clogged aerator; partially closed shut-off valve; low water pressure | Clean the aerator (see Maintenance); ensure shut-off valves are fully open; check household water pressure. |
| Leaking from spout | Loose aerator; worn ceramic disc cartridge | Tighten aerator; contact customer support for cartridge replacement. |
| Leaking from base of faucet | Loose mounting nut; improper sealant application | Tighten mounting nut; reapply plumber's putty or silicone sealant if necessary. |
| Water temperature not adjusting | Issue with hot/cold water supply; faulty cartridge | Check hot/cold water supply lines and shut-off valves; contact customer support. |
