6. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your Amazon Basics Kitchen Faucet. Ensure the water supply is turned off before starting.
- Prepare the Sink: Ensure the sink hole is clean and free of debris. The faucet is designed for a single hole sink with a diameter of 1.3-1.5 inches (3.3-3.8 cm).
- Insert Faucet Body: Place the faucet body into the sink's mounting hole.
- Secure the Faucet: From underneath the sink, slide the mounting nut over the hoses and up to the faucet's base. Press the two buttons on the nut and slide it up until it touches the sink, then release the buttons. Rotate the nut to tighten and secure the faucet.
- Connect Pullout Hose: Unscrew the quick connector from the outlet hose. Slide the hose weight onto the pullout hose at the locator mark, then refit the cap onto the hose weight. Attach the pullout hose to the quick connector.
- Connect Water Supply Lines: Attach the hot water inlet hose (red markings) and cold water inlet hose (blue markings) to the corresponding hot and cold water supply lines under the sink. Use a wrench to ensure all connections are secure.
- Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply and check for any leaks.

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your faucet.

- Hose Maintenance: Periodically check the pull-down hose for any signs of wear or damage.
9. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your faucet, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Low Water Pressure:
- Check if the water supply valves under the sink are fully open. Inspect the spray head nozzles for mineral buildup and clean if necessary.
- Leaks from Faucet Base:
- Ensure the mounting nut under the sink is securely tightened. Check the water supply line connections for tightness.
- Sprayer Not Retracting Properly:
- Verify that the hose weight is correctly positioned on the pullout hose and that there are no obstructions under the sink preventing smooth movement.
- No Hot or Cold Water:
