Please read all instructions carefully before installation and use. Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage or personal injury.

  • Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks.
  • If you are unsure about any part of the installation process, consult a qualified plumber.

3. Setup and Installation

The WELLFOR WB-FA020MB3 faucet is designed for easy installation. Follow these steps for a secure and leak-free setup.

Tools You May Need:

  • Adjustable Wrench
  • Phillips Head Screwdriver
  • Plumber's Putty or Silicone Sealant
  • Flashlight
  • Teflon Tape

Installation Steps:

  1. Prepare the Sink: Ensure the sink deck has three pre-drilled holes for a widespread faucet. Clean the area around the holes thoroughly.
  2. Install Handles: Insert the hot and cold handles into the outer holes of the sink deck. Secure them from underneath the sink using the provided washers and nuts. Ensure the handles are oriented correctly.
  3. Install Faucet Spout: Place the faucet spout into the center hole. Apply a thin bead of plumber's putty or silicone sealant around the base of the spout if recommended by local codes or manufacturer instructions, or use the included gasket. Secure the spout from underneath with the provided washer and mounting nut.
  4. Connect Water Supply Lines: Attach the hot and cold supply hoses to the corresponding handle valves and then to your home's hot and cold water supply lines. Use Teflon tape on threaded connections to ensure a watertight seal.
  5. Connect Spout to Valves: Connect the flexible hoses from the handle valves to the faucet spout's inlet ports. Ensure all connections are hand-tightened, then gently tighten with a wrench, being careful not to overtighten.
  6. Test for Leaks: Once all connections are made, slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for any signs of leaks. Run the faucet for a few minutes to flush out any debris and check for proper hot and cold water flow.

4. Operation

The WELLFOR WB-FA020MB3 faucet features a two-handle design for precise control over water temperature and flow.

  • Water Flow: Turn either handle counter-clockwise to open the valve and allow water to flow. Turn clockwise to close.
  • Temperature Control: The left handle typically controls hot water, and the right handle controls cold water. Adjust both handles to achieve your desired water temperature.
  • Aerator: The integrated aerator provides a smooth, splash-free water stream and helps conserve water.

5. Maintenance and Care

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

  • Cleaning: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Use only mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
  • Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, ammonia, bleach, acids, or other harsh chemicals, as these can damage the matte black finish and internal components.
  • Aerator Maintenance: If water flow becomes restricted, the aerator may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator from the spout, clean any debris, and rinse it under running water. Reinstall the aerator securely.
  • Ceramic Disc Cartridges: The faucet is equipped with durable ceramic disc cartridges designed for drip-free performance. If a drip occurs, it may indicate a need to replace the cartridge. Consult a plumber or WELLFOR support.
