4. Installation Instructions
Follow these steps for a smooth installation. Ensure the main water supply is turned off before starting.
4.1. Preparation
- Turn off the main water supply to your bathroom.
- Remove your old faucet and clean the sink surface thoroughly.
- Ensure the mounting holes on your sink or countertop match the faucet's requirements (1.1 to 1.5 inches for handles, 1.1 to 2.5 inches for spout).
4.2. Mounting the Faucet Components
- Insert the hot and cold handles and the main spout body into their respective holes on the sink/countertop.
- From underneath the sink, secure each component with the provided washers and mounting nuts. Hand-tighten first, then use the included wrench for a snug fit. Do not overtighten.
4.3. Connecting Water Hoses
- Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the corresponding hot (red label) and cold (blue label) inlets on the faucet handles. Use Teflon tape on the threads for a watertight seal.
- Connect the unique 'Y' shaped quick connect hose to the hot and cold outlets from the handles and the main spout inlet. Push firmly until a 'click' is heard to ensure a secure connection.
- Connect the other ends of the water supply hoses to your hot and cold water shut-off valves.

4.4. Installing the Pop-Up Drain
- Place the pop-up drain body into the sink drain hole.
- From underneath, secure the drain body with the provided gasket and nut. Ensure a tight seal to prevent leaks.
- Connect the drain assembly to your existing P-trap.
4.5. Final Steps
- Turn on the main water supply.
- Check all connections for leaks. Tighten any leaking connections as needed.
- Remove the aerator from the spout and turn on both hot and cold water to flush out any debris for a few minutes. Reinstall the aerator.

5. Operation
Your WOWOW faucet is designed for ease of use and durability.
5.1. Water Flow and Temperature Control
The two lever handles control the hot and cold water flow. Turn the left handle for hot water and the right handle for cold water. Adjust both to achieve your desired water temperature and flow rate.

5.2. Swivel Spout
The high-arc spout features a 360-degree swivel function, providing greater flexibility and access to your sink. This is particularly useful for washing larger items or for multi-tasking.

5.3. Pop-Up Drain
The included pop-up drain stopper allows for easy filling and draining of your sink. Simply press down on the stopper to close the drain and press again to open it.

6. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your faucet.
6.1. 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 oil rubbed bronze finish.
6.2. Aerator Maintenance
If water flow decreases or becomes irregular, the aerator may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator from the tip of the spout, clean any debris, and rinse thoroughly before reattaching. The faucet comes with two aerators (1.2 GPM and 2.2 GPM) to suit your water flow preferences.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues, refer to the common problems and solutions below.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low Water Flow | Clogged aerator or partially closed water supply valve. | Clean the aerator. Ensure water supply valves are fully open. |
| Leaks from Faucet Base | Loose mounting nuts or worn gaskets. | Tighten mounting nuts. Check and replace gaskets if necessary. |
| Leaks from Connections | Loose connections or insufficient Teflon tape. | Tighten all hose connections. Reapply Teflon tape if needed. |
| Water Temperature Issues | Incorrect hot/cold hose connection or issues with water heater. | Verify hot and cold lines are connected correctly. Check water heater settings. |
