- Apply Thread Seal Tape: Wrap PTFE thread seal tape (included) around the threads of the 3/8" NPT male inlet on the faucet unit.
- Mount the Faucet: Thread the faucet unit into the wall-mounted water supply line. Tighten securely with a wrench, ensuring the faucet is oriented correctly.
- Check for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply and check all connections for any signs of leakage. Tighten further if necessary.
- Adjust Water Flow (Optional): If desired, adjust the water flow rate. Loosen the nut on the top of the faucet with a wrench, then use a screwdriver to turn the inner screw to achieve the desired flow. Retighten the nut once adjusted. Refer to Figure 4.1 for visual guidance.
