- Prepare the Sink Hole: Ensure your sink has a single mounting hole with a diameter of approximately 35mm.
- Insert the Faucet: Place the faucet body into the sink hole, ensuring the base gasket is correctly positioned.
- Secure the Faucet: From underneath the sink, slide the rubber washer, metal washer, and mounting nut onto the threaded shank. Tighten the mounting nut securely using the provided tool or an adjustable wrench.
- Connect Water Supply Lines: Attach the hot (red indicator) and cold (blue indicator) water supply hoses to the corresponding connections on the faucet body. Connect the other ends of the hoses to your hot and cold water supply valves. Ensure all connections are hand-tightened, then use a wrench for a final quarter-turn.
- Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply and check all connections for any signs of leaks.
6. Operating Instructions
Your Ibergrif faucet is designed for ease of use and flexibility:
- Water Flow and Temperature: The single lever handle controls both water flow and temperature. Lift the handle to increase flow. Move the handle left for hot water and right for cold water.
- Flexible Spout: The silicone-covered spout can be bent and positioned in various directions to suit your needs, providing a wide range of motion for washing and rinsing.

7. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your faucet:
- Cleaning the 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 brushed finish. The brushed nickel finish is designed to resist water spots and fingerprints.
- Aerator Cleaning: If water flow becomes restricted or uneven, the aerator may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator from the end of the spout, clean any debris or mineral deposits, and then reattach it.
