3. Setup (Installation)

Professional installation is recommended for optimal performance and to ensure compliance with local plumbing codes. Before beginning, ensure you have all necessary tools and components.

3.2 Pre-Installation Steps

1. Turn off the main water supply to your kitchen.
2. Clear the area under the sink for easy access.
3. Remove your old faucet, if applicable. Clean the mounting surface thoroughly.

3.3 Faucet Installation

1. Insert the faucet body into the mounting hole on your sink or countertop. Ensure the base gasket is properly seated.
2. From underneath the sink, secure the faucet using the provided mounting hardware (washer and mounting nut). Tighten firmly but do not overtighten.
3. Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the corresponding valves. The reinforced braided hoses are pre-attached to the faucet. Ensure connections are hand-tight, then use a wrench for a quarter turn.
