- Teflon Tape
- Safety Glasses
4.2 Installation Steps
- Prepare the Sink: Clean the sink surface where the faucet will be installed. Ensure the pre-drilled hole size meets the specifications (0.99-1.6 inches). For 3-hole sinks, use the included 6-inch deck plate.
- Install the Faucet:
- If using the deck plate, place it over the sink holes.
- Insert the faucet body through the hole(s) in the sink/deck plate.
- From underneath the sink, secure the faucet using the rubber washer and mounting nut. Tighten firmly but do not overtighten.
- Connect Water Supply Lines:
- Attach the hot and cold supply lines to the corresponding inlets on the faucet body. Hand-tighten, then use a wrench for a quarter turn.
- Connect the other ends of the supply lines to your hot and cold water shut-off valves. Use Teflon tape on the valve threads for a watertight seal.
- Install the Pop-up Drain:
- Apply plumber's putty or silicone sealant around the flange of the pop-up drain.
- Insert the drain assembly into the sink drain hole.
- From underneath, secure the drain with the rubber washer and locking nut. Ensure the drain is properly aligned and sealed to prevent leaks.
- Test for Leaks: Turn on the main water supply slowly and check all connections for leaks. If leaks occur, tighten connections as needed.

5. Operation
The Hoimpro waterfall faucet features a single handle for controlling both water flow and temperature.
- Water Flow: Lift the handle to increase water flow. Push down to decrease or stop flow.
- Water Temperature: Move the handle to the left for hot water and to the right for cold water. Adjust the handle position to achieve the desired temperature.
- Waterfall Spout: The unique waterfall design provides a gentle, broad stream of water. Note that high water pressure may cause splashing in some sink designs. Adjust the flow rate as needed.
- Pop-up Drain: Press the top of the drain to open or close it.
6. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will preserve the finish and functionality of your faucet.
6.1 Cleaning the Finish
- Clean the matte black finish with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
6.2 Drain Maintenance
- Periodically remove the pop-up drain stopper and clean any accumulated debris or hair to prevent clogging.
- The drain is designed for rapid filtering and anti-clogging, but regular cleaning is still recommended.
7. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your faucet.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low Water Pressure | Partially closed shut-off valves, clogged aerator, kinked supply lines. | Ensure shut-off valves are fully open. Clean the aerator. Check supply lines for kinks. |
| Leaks from Faucet Base | Loose mounting nut, improperly seated gasket. | Tighten mounting nut. Ensure gaskets are correctly positioned. Apply plumber's putty or silicone if necessary. |
