Setup and Installation
Before beginning installation, ensure you have all necessary tools and that your sink has three pre-drilled holes with a size between 1.1 inches (minimum) and 1.57 inches (maximum). The widespread design allows for flexible placement of the handles and spout to fit your countertop's existing holes without additional cutting.
- Prepare the Sink Area: Turn off the main water supply to your bathroom. Clear the area under the sink and remove any old faucet fixtures.
- Install Faucet Components: Insert the main spout and two handle assemblies into the pre-drilled holes on your sink or countertop. Secure them from underneath using the provided mounting hardware.
- Connect Water Supply Lines: Attach the included hot and cold flexible hoses to the corresponding connections on the faucet assemblies and to your home's water supply valves. The hoses are designed to be long enough for easy connection.
- Install Pop-Up Drain: Place the pop-up drain assembly into the sink's drain hole. Ensure all seals are properly seated to prevent leaks. Connect the drain to your existing P-trap.
- Test for Leaks: Once all connections are secure, slowly turn on the main water supply and check for any leaks around the faucet, handles, and drain connections.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your GGStudy faucet, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the antique brass finish.
- Spot Resistance: The antique brass finish is designed to resist fingerprints and water spots. For best results, wipe down the faucet after each use to prevent mineral buildup, especially in areas with hard water.
- Aerator Cleaning: If water flow decreases, the aerator may be clogged with mineral deposits. Unscrew the aerator from the spout, clean it with a soft brush, and rinse thoroughly before reattaching.
- Check for Leaks: Periodically inspect all connections under the sink for any signs of leaks. Tighten connections as needed, but do not overtighten.
