4. Tools Required
The following tools are typically required for installation:
- Adjustable Wrench
- Phillips Head Screwdriver
- Basin Wrench (optional, for tight spaces)
- Plumber's Putty or Silicone Sealant
- Flashlight
- Bucket and Towel
5. Setup and Installation
5.1 Prepare the Sink Area
- Turn off the hot and cold water supply valves under the sink. If no shut-off valves are present, turn off the main water supply to the house.
- Remove the old faucet, if applicable. Clean the sink surface thoroughly.
5.2 Install the Faucet
- If your sink has three holes, place the deck plate (if included) over the sink holes. Apply a thin bead of plumber's putty or silicone sealant around the base of the deck plate to create a watertight seal.
- Insert the faucet body through the center hole of the sink (and deck plate, if used). Ensure the faucet is oriented correctly.
- From underneath the sink, secure the faucet using the provided mounting washer and nut. Hand-tighten first, then use a basin wrench or adjustable wrench to tighten securely. Do not overtighten.
- Connect the hot and cold water supply lines from the faucet to the corresponding hot and cold water supply valves. Hand-tighten, then use an adjustable wrench for a final quarter-turn.
- Install the hose weight onto the pull-out hose, typically about 6 inches from the bottom of the spray head connection. This weight helps the spray head retract properly.

5.3 Test the Faucet
- Slowly turn on the hot and cold water supply valves.
- Check all connections for leaks. If leaks are present, tighten the connections slightly until the leak stops.
- Remove the spray head and turn on the faucet to flush out any debris from the supply lines. Let the water run for approximately one minute.
- Reattach the spray head.
6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Water Flow and Temperature Control
- The single handle controls both water flow and temperature.
- To turn on the water and control flow, lift the handle upwards. The further you lift, the greater the water flow.
- To adjust water temperature, move the handle left for hot water and right for cold water.
6.2 Dual Spray Function
- The pull-out spray head features a dual spray function.
- To switch between stream and spray modes, press the button located on the spray head.
- After use, gently guide the spray head back into the faucet spout until it docks securely.
7. Maintenance
7.1 Cleaning the Faucet
- Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the chrome finish.
- Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
7.2 Aerator Maintenance
- If water flow decreases, the aerator may be clogged.
- Unscrew the aerator from the tip of the spray head.
- Rinse any debris from the screen and reassemble.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low Water Flow | Clogged aerator; partially closed supply valves. | Clean aerator; fully open supply valves. |
| Leaks from Faucet Base | Loose mounting nut; improper sealant application. | Tighten mounting nut; reapply plumber's putty/sealant. |
| Leaks from Supply Line Connections | Loose connections; damaged O-rings. | Tighten connections; replace O-rings if damaged. |
| Spray Head Does Not Retract Fully | Hose weight improperly positioned or obstructed. | Adjust hose weight position; clear any obstructions under the sink. |
