Installation Guide
Before You Begin
- Ensure you have all included components and necessary tools (adjustable wrench, plumber's tape, screwdriver, basin wrench).
- Turn off the main water supply to your bathroom.
- Clear the area under the sink for easy access.
Installation Steps
- Remove your old faucet and clean the sink surface thoroughly.
- Place the new faucet base plate onto the sink holes, ensuring proper alignment.
- From underneath the sink, secure the faucet with the provided mounting hardware (washers and nuts). Tighten firmly but do not overtighten.
- Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the corresponding faucet inlets. Use plumber's tape on threaded connections to prevent leaks.
- Install the pop-up drain assembly into the sink drain hole. Ensure all gaskets are properly seated and tighten the retaining nut from underneath.
- Connect the pop-up drain to your existing P-trap or drain pipe.
- Once all connections are secure, slowly turn on the main water supply.
- Check for any leaks at all connection points. Tighten as necessary.
- Test the hot and cold water flow and the pop-up drain function.
Operation
The YardMonet bathroom faucet is designed for intuitive and smooth operation:
- Water Flow and Temperature: Use the two lever handles to control water flow and temperature. Rotate the handles forward 90° to turn on the water. The left handle typically controls hot water, and the right handle controls cold water. Adjust both handles to achieve your desired temperature and flow rate.
- Swivel Spout: The faucet features a 360-degree swivel spout, allowing you to easily move the spout from side to side for convenience during washing or cleaning the sink.
- Pop-Up Drain: To close the drain and fill the sink, simply press down on the pop-up drain stopper. To open the drain and allow water to flow out, press down on the stopper again.

Care and Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your YardMonet faucet:
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scouring pads, as these can damage the brushed nickel finish.
- Prevent Water Spots: The anti-fingerprint finish helps, but to prevent water spots and mineral buildup, wipe the faucet dry after each use, especially in areas with hard water.
- Drain Maintenance: The pop-up drain's built-in anti-clogging basket filter is easy to clean. Periodically remove the stopper and clear any debris from the basket to maintain optimal drainage.
- Aerator Cleaning: If water flow becomes restricted, the aerator may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator from the spout, clean any mineral deposits or debris, and reattach it.
