4.2 Faucet Installation
- Apply plumber's putty or silicone sealant around the base of the faucet body and handles, if required by your countertop material.
- Insert the faucet body and handles into the pre-drilled holes on the countertop.
- From underneath the sink, secure the faucet and handles using the provided washers and mounting nuts. Tighten firmly but do not overtighten.
- Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the corresponding inlets on the faucet. The included hoses are 20 inches long with 3/8 inch compression fittings.
- Connect the side spray hose to the diverter port on the faucet body.
- Ensure all connections are hand-tight, then use a wrench for a final quarter-turn to secure.
4.3 Post-Installation
- Slowly turn on the main water supply.
- Check all connections for leaks. If leaks are present, gently tighten the connections.
- Remove the aerator from the spout and turn on both hot and cold water to flush out any debris from the lines. Run water for a few minutes.
- Turn off the water, reattach the aerator, and test the faucet for proper operation.
5. Operating Instructions
The Waterstone Hampton faucet features two lever handles for controlling water flow and temperature.
- Water Flow: Rotate the handles away from the faucet body to increase water flow. Rotate towards the faucet body to decrease or shut off water flow.
- Temperature Control: Typically, one handle controls hot water and the other controls cold water. Adjust both handles simultaneously to achieve the desired water temperature.
- Side Spray: Press the button on the side spray head to activate the spray function. Release the button to return to the main faucet flow.
6. Maintenance and Care
To maintain the finish and functionality of your Waterstone faucet, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn spots, use a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, ammonia-based products, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- 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.
- Handle Adjustment: If handles become loose or sag, the adjustable handle brake system can be tightened. Refer to the detailed installation guide for specific instructions.
