4. Setup and Installation
Professional installation is recommended. Ensure all local plumbing codes are followed. Turn off the main water supply before starting installation.
4.1 Pre-Installation Checks
- Verify your sink's pre-drilled hole diameter is between 0.9 inches (minimum) and 1.57 inches (maximum).
- Ensure your counter top thickness does not exceed 2.59 inches.
- Confirm all components listed in Section 2 are present and undamaged.
4.2 Faucet Installation Steps
- Prepare the Sink Hole: Ensure the sink hole is clean and free of debris.
- Install the Faucet: Insert the faucet body into the sink hole. From underneath the counter, secure the faucet using the provided rubber washer, metal washer, and mounting nut. Tighten securely but do not overtighten.
- Connect Water Supply Hoses: Attach the hot and cold water supply hoses to the corresponding inlets on the faucet body. The hoses are typically color-coded (red for hot, blue for cold) or marked. Connect the other ends of the hoses to your hot and cold water supply lines. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.

4.3 Pop-Up Drain Installation Steps
The pop-up drain is designed for easy installation and removal for cleaning. It is compatible with both wash basins with and without spillway holes.
- Disassemble Drain: Separate the drain components as per the diagram.
- Position Gaskets: Place the appropriate gaskets above and below the sink drain hole. For sinks with an overflow, ensure the drain body aligns with the overflow channel. For sinks without an overflow, use the solid gasket.
- Secure Drain: Insert the drain body through the sink hole and tighten the locking nut from underneath the sink. Ensure a watertight seal.
- Test for Leaks: Once both the faucet and drain are installed, slowly turn on the main water supply and check all connections for leaks. Tighten any leaking connections as necessary.
