5. Setup and Installation
The WEWE Vintage Kitchen Faucet is designed for straightforward installation, suitable for both 1-hole and 3-hole kitchen sinks. No specialized tools are typically required.
5.1 Before You Begin
- Turn off the water supply to your sink.
- Clear the area under your sink for easy access.
- Ensure you have all package contents as listed in Section 3.
- For 3-hole sinks, use the included deck plate. For 1-hole sinks, the deck plate is optional.
5.2 Installation Steps
- Prepare the Sink Hole: Ensure the sink hole diameter is between 1.38" and 1.5". If installing on a 3-hole sink, place the deck plate over the holes.
- Mount the Faucet: Insert the faucet body through the hole(s) in the sink/deck plate. From underneath, secure it with the provided mounting hardware (washer and nut). Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench for final tightening.
- Connect Water Supply Lines: Attach the hot and cold water supply lines (3/8" connections) to your existing water valves. The hot water line is 31.5" long, and the cold water line is 33.5" long. Note: If your existing connections are not 3/8", 1/2" male adapters (ASIN: B09D2TW9D1) or 1/2" female adapters (ASIN: B08VRPYWLM) may be required and are available separately.
- Install the Weight: Attach the counterweight to the pull-down hose approximately 6-8 inches from the bottom of the faucet body. This ensures smooth retraction of the sprayer.
- Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for leaks. Run the faucet for a few minutes to flush out any debris and check for proper hot and cold water flow.

6. Operating Instructions
Your WEWE kitchen faucet features a single handle for water control and a multi-function pull-down sprayer.
6.1 Water Flow and Temperature Control
- Turn On/Off: Lift the single handle to turn on the water. Push down to turn off.
- Adjust Temperature: Move the handle left for hot water and right for cold water. The handle is designed to provide cold water first when pulled forward, which can help prevent accidental scalding.
- Adjust Flow: The further you lift the handle, the greater the water flow.

- Sweep Mode: A powerful blade of water designed for heavy-duty rinsing and removing stubborn food debris.
To switch between modes, press the corresponding button on the sprayer head. The sprayer also features a 360-degree swivel for enhanced maneuverability around the sink.
