4. Setup and Installation
Tools Required: Adjustable wrench, Phillips screwdriver, plumber's putty or silicone sealant, basin wrench (optional).
- Prepare the Sink: Ensure the sink hole is clean and free of debris. If replacing an old faucet, remove it and clean the area thoroughly.
- Install the Faucet:
- Place the faucet body into the sink hole.
- From underneath the sink, slide the rubber gasket, metal washer, and mounting nut onto the threaded shank of the faucet.
- Tighten the mounting nut securely with an adjustable wrench or basin wrench. Do not overtighten.
- Connect Water Supply Lines:
- Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the corresponding inlets on the faucet body. The hot water line is typically on the left, and the cold water line on the right.
- Connect the other ends of the supply lines to your hot and cold water shut-off valves. Ensure all connections are hand-tight, then tighten an additional quarter turn with a wrench.
- Test for Leaks:
- Slowly turn on the main water supply.
- Check all connections for any signs of leaks. If leaks are present, tighten the connections slightly until they stop.
- Run water through the faucet for a few minutes to flush out any debris from the lines.

6. Maintenance and Care
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your ECA Flux Faucet.
- Cleaning the Finish:
- Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap and water.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.

- Cleaning the Aerator: If water flow decreases, the aerator may be clogged.
- Unscrew the aerator from the tip of the spout.
- Rinse any debris from the screen. For stubborn mineral deposits, soak the aerator in a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water.
- Reattach the aerator securely.
