Setup and Installation
This faucet is designed for easy single-hole deck mount installation. Follow these steps carefully:
- Prepare the Sink: Ensure the mounting hole on your sink or countertop is clean and free of debris. The recommended hole diameter is 1.5 inches.
- Install the Faucet Body: Insert the faucet body into the mounting hole. Ensure the base gasket is properly seated between the faucet and the sink surface.
- 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 by hand, then use a wrench to ensure it is firm, but do not overtighten.
- Connect Water Supply Lines: Attach the hot and cold water supply hoses to the corresponding inlets on the faucet body. The hoses are typically marked (e.g., red for hot, blue for cold). Connect the other ends of the hoses to your hot and cold water supply valves. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
- Install Sprayer Hose and Counterweight: Feed the pull-down sprayer hose through the faucet spout. Connect the sprayer hose to the quick-connect fitting on the main water line under the sink. Attach the counterweight to the pull-down hose at the recommended height (usually 6-8 inches from the bottom of the faucet body) to ensure smooth retraction.
- Test for Leaks: Turn on the main water supply slowly and check all connections for leaks. Operate the faucet to ensure proper hot and cold water flow and sprayer function.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Aerator Maintenance: If water flow decreases, the aerator may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator from the sprayer head, clean any debris, and rinse thoroughly before reattaching.
- Hose Inspection: Periodically check the pull-down hose for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure the counterweight is securely attached and allows for smooth retraction.
