4. Setup (Installation)

The Cobbe Kitchen Sink Mixer Tap is designed for single-hole deck mount installation. Follow these steps for a quick setup:

1. Prepare the Sink: Ensure the mounting hole on your sink or countertop is clean and clear.
2. Mount the Faucet: Insert the faucet body into the mounting hole. From underneath the sink, secure the faucet using the provided mounting hardware (washer and nut). Tighten firmly but do not overtighten.
3. Connect Water Hoses: Attach the hot and cold water supply hoses to the corresponding inlets on the faucet body. Connect the other ends of the hoses to your hot and cold water supply lines. Ensure the connections are tight to prevent leaks.
4. Connect Sprayer Hose: Connect the pull-down sprayer hose to the quick-connect fitting on the faucet's main body. Ensure it clicks securely into place.
5. Install Counterweight: Attach the counterweight to the pull-down hose underneath the sink. This helps the sprayer retract smoothly.
6. Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply and check all connections for any signs of leaks. Operate the faucet to ensure proper water flow and temperature control.
