4. Setup & Installation
This vessel sink is designed for above-counter installation. Follow these steps carefully for proper setup:
4.1. Prepare the Countertop
Determine the desired location for the sink and faucet on your countertop. Ensure there is sufficient clearance for the sink bowl and faucet. Mark the center point for the drain hole and the faucet hole(s).
Figure 4.1: Sink dimensions: 16.5 inches in diameter and 5.5 inches deep. These measurements are crucial for countertop cutout planning.
Figure 4.2: Faucet dimensions: 12 inches high with a 3.1-inch width and a 2-inch diameter base. Plan your faucet hole accordingly.
Drill the necessary holes in the countertop. The sink requires a standard drain opening, and the faucet requires a single hole. Refer to the specific dimensions provided in Figures 4.1 and 4.2.
4.2. Install the Faucet
- Insert the faucet into the drilled hole on the countertop.
- Secure the faucet from underneath the countertop using the provided mounting hardware (washer and nut). Ensure the faucet is oriented correctly.
- Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the corresponding inlets on the faucet. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench for a snug fit, being careful not to overtighten.
4.3. Install the Pop-Up Drain
- Apply a bead of plumber's putty or silicone sealant around the top edge of the drain opening on the sink.
- Insert the top part of the pop-up drain into the sink's drain hole.
- From underneath the sink, attach the rubber washer and locking nut to the drain body. Tighten securely, but do not overtighten, to create a watertight seal.
- Connect the tailpiece of the pop-up drain to your P-trap assembly.

4.4. Position the Sink
Carefully place the tempered glass vessel sink onto the countertop, aligning its drain with the prepared hole. Apply a thin bead of silicone sealant around the base of the sink where it meets the countertop to secure it and prevent water from seeping underneath.
4.5. Connect Water Supply
Connect the hot and cold water lines from the faucet to your home's hot and cold water supply valves. Use thread sealant tape on the threads for a secure, leak-free connection. Turn on the main water supply slowly and check for any leaks at all connections. Tighten as necessary.
5. Operating Instructions
Operating your Puluomis vessel sink and faucet is straightforward:
- Water Flow: Lift the faucet handle to turn on the water. The higher you lift, the greater the water flow.
- Temperature Control: Move the faucet handle left for hot water and right for cold water. Adjust the handle position to achieve the desired water temperature.
- Drain Operation: Press the top of the pop-up drain to close it and retain water in the sink. Press it again to open the drain and allow water to flow out.
6. Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity and beauty of your Puluomis vessel sink:
- Cleaning the Sink: Clean the tempered glass sink regularly with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive soap or glass cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scouring pads, as these can scratch or damage the glass surface. The manufacturer recommends hand washing for product care.
- Cleaning the Faucet: Wipe the Oil Rubber Bronze faucet with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, waxes, or polishes, as they can damage the finish.
- Drain Maintenance: Periodically remove the pop-up drain stopper and clean any accumulated debris to ensure proper drainage.
- Leak Checks: Regularly inspect all water connections for any signs of leaks. Tighten connections if necessary.
7. Troubleshooting
Here are some common issues and their potential solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water Leakage at Connections | Loose connections, worn washers, improper sealant application. | Tighten connections. Replace washers if damaged. Reapply plumber's putty or silicone sealant. |
| Low Water Flow | Clogged aerator, partially closed supply valves. | Remove and clean the faucet aerator. Fully open supply valves. |
| Drain Not Sealing Properly | Debris in drain, improper drain installation. | Clean debris from around the drain stopper. Reinstall drain, ensuring proper sealant and tightening. |
| Faucet Drips | Worn cartridge. | Contact Puluomis customer support for a replacement cartridge. |
