Setup and Installation
Pre-Installation
- Turn off Water Supply: Locate the main water shut-off valve for your home or the shut-off valves under the sink. Turn them off completely.
- Clear Workspace: Clear the area under your sink and around the faucet mounting hole.
- Remove Old Faucet: If replacing an existing faucet, disconnect the old supply lines and remove the old faucet. Clean the sink surface thoroughly.
Faucet Installation Steps
- Install Deck Plate (Optional): If your sink has three holes, place the deck plate over the holes. Ensure the gasket is properly seated.
- Mount Faucet: Insert the faucet body through the center hole of the sink or deck plate. Ensure the faucet is oriented correctly.
- Secure with FastMount: From underneath the sink, slide the FastMount mounting system onto the threaded shank of the faucet. Hand-tighten the mounting nut, then use a screwdriver to tighten the screws on the FastMount bracket for a secure fit. This system is designed for quick and easy installation.
- Connect Supply Lines: Connect the hot and cold supply lines from the faucet to your home's water supply valves. The faucet includes 36-inch supply hoses with 3/8-inch connections. Use a wrench to tighten connections, but do not overtighten.
- Install Sprayer Hose: Feed the pull-down sprayer hose through the faucet spout. Connect the hose to the quick-connect fitting under the sink. Ensure it clicks securely into place.
- Attach Weight: Attach the hose weight to the pull-down hose approximately 6-8 inches from the quick-connect fitting. This ensures the sprayer retracts properly.
- Install Soap Dispenser: Insert the soap dispenser body into the designated hole on your sink or countertop. Secure it from underneath with the provided nut. Fill the dispenser from the top.
- 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.

- Dispensing: Press down on the pump head to dispense soap.
Maintenance
Cleaning the Faucet
- To maintain the chrome finish, clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Wipe the faucet dry after each use to prevent water spots and mineral buildup.
Aerator Maintenance
- If water flow becomes restricted, the aerator on the sprayer head may be clogged with mineral deposits.
- Unscrew the aerator from the sprayer head.
- Rinse the aerator under running water and gently brush away any debris. Soaking in a vinegar solution can help remove stubborn mineral buildup.
- Reattach the aerator, ensuring it is securely tightened.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low water flow | Clogged aerator; partially closed shut-off valve; kinked supply line. | Clean aerator (see Maintenance); ensure shut-off valves are fully open; check supply lines for kinks. |
| Leaking from base of faucet | Loose mounting nut; damaged O-rings or gaskets. | Tighten mounting nut under the sink; inspect and replace O-rings/gaskets if damaged. |
| Leaking from sprayer head | Damaged sprayer head; loose connection. | Ensure sprayer hose connection is tight; replace sprayer head if damaged. |
| Water temperature issues (too hot/cold) | Incorrect supply line connection; water heater setting. | Verify hot and cold supply lines are connected correctly; adjust water heater temperature. |
